The importance of mental health: Comedians talk to Chris Gethard

Chris Gethard’s one-man show, Career Suicide, premieres this coming Saturday on HBO. But May 1 also marks the start of Mental Health Awareness Month, so Gethard sat down with fellow comedians Wyatt Cenac, Patti Harrison, Aparna Nancherla and Phoebe Robinson to explore different paths and experiences in dealing with depression and anxiety from a variety of perspectives.

“We all just want to know that we’re not alone, and that we’re heard,” Robinson told Gethard.
