Episode Three - Jonny

We talk to Jonny Benjamin about how mental health problems he experienced from a young age culminated in a suicide attempt in his early 20s that shot him to public prominence, and how he has coped with this attention since. We explore how and why his mental health problems developed, and how he has come to terms with how close he came to ending his life.
