You could show anger for sure, but you couldn't show sadness.
And so understanding what an illness like depression or anxiety or bipolar or OCD, you know, they're kind of all grouped together.
ADHD, it's kind of like this big mess in our heads.
And some people get a little of this and a little of that.
But I think it's understanding the fact that it's not what you think it is.
You know, I thought a lot about this before coming on.

how to talk about mental health because you guys you know had a code right you played with the hockey code and the code told you certain things i mean we all know about the code i didn't play hockey but i know about the code talked about the code all the time and then one day i realized you know we men live by that same code we we like like whether you played hockey or not you live by the code you know the rules of the code handle it yourself you're a man no one's coming
don't show weakness ever because you're a man act like it.

I did probably in my career, a thousand shows severely depressed where I just, I hated everything about my life.
I hated everything about who I was.
