This episode Ben and Tim are joined by Danny McNamara, the lead singer from the band Embrace. 

Danny tells us about this battle as a 19 year old with what turned out to be Pure 'O' OCD in the late 80s/early 90s when there was little knowledge about mental health. He tells us about how he suffered numerous panic attacks each day and the fear that he was a serial killer, which lead to him seeing a Psychiatrist. He speaks about his journey and the importance of opening up and speaking to someone.
