Breaking Down, Breaking Down.
This is a podcast with the primary focus being on male mental health. Started by two guys based in the West Midlands in the UK, who became friends working through similar mental health difficulties, and figuring out how to fight back against pre-conceptions. Expect honest open discussion, guests, insight and food for thought. No medical advice, and of course always seek emergency help if you need it. You're not alone.

Taking substantially less time than it took Ted to explain how he met his kids’ mother, this episode takes a look at how Wil came to get to know Andy, whilst both were inpatients at Bushey Fields Hospital, and acute Mental Health Hospital in Dudley, United Kingdom.
Together, we take a look at possibly the second most painful induction process after being sent to prison, how what’s on TV at 6AM dictates what patients hav...
Note: Our Introduction Episode is being re-recorded due to some technical issues. We decided to release this one as it’s over an hour long, though some of the audio issues still exist. We’re sorry!
