His candid reflections highlight the confusion and anger he felt as a child and the lasting impact of his mother's attempt on their relationship. Matt also discusses his own battles with depression, including a critical episode in his early twenties and the ongoing struggle with medication management, which once led to severe suicidal ideation.
