Mayank sits down with his high school friend, Solomon Monagle, where they go deep into his battle with mental illness during his high school and university years. They cover the confronting topics of suicidality and self harm.

Bottled Up recognises that these themes are intense and can have a different effect on people, but having these conversations is imperative in ensuring that these topics are normalised.

We believe that this episode is important for everyone as in any line of work or industry you are in, constantly dealing with people, and having an understanding of the different ways the human mind can work is required.
