In a one-off MHAW special for their listeners away at university, Damian and Davey take a moment to reflect on the importance of supporting each other during what is a brilliant, bizarre and baffling time for anyone.

Sex talk is on the cards again as Steve and Alex, two guys living life with HIV, open up to Davey and Damian.

Meet Tara and Tabitha, two strong women who don’t let labels or mental health stop them, as Davey, Damian and Eli hear stories of mental health from the LGBTQ+ community – and get a thorough schooling in what it is to be the ‘B’.

It’s been a tough time for Davey and Damian since the last episode. Both have had setbacks and struggles with their mental health. But as always they find a way to talk, share and laugh with their infectious honesty. Warning: there may be tears.

Having hopefully learned how to handle their wine since the first episode, Davey and Damian delve deeper into their mental health – with Damian talking about his Tourette’s and Obsessive–compulsive disorder

(OCD), including intrusive thoughts and the time he became obsessed with religion. The friends also listen, laugh and learn about different theories of mental health.

With too much wine and perhaps too much honesty, two men open up about their colourful history of mental health issues. We learn how Damian helped Davey find humour in his darkest moment – with the aid of their friend and ‘chief prober’, Eli.
