With ya on that. The last thing he needs is to garner sympathy from anons on the internet. I know I did before on my art account way back, but it doesn't help. In the end, depression is something that can't be solved or overcome as easily just by reading nice comments on a screen. Personally, it's something that should be discussed with his family, friends, and/or a medical professional, not a public video. And if he can't just easily pay for a professional, there's ways out there to help you out. Just means having to take that step forward and actually doing something about it. He won't get anywhere just by talking about it to a microphone.

He did say that the main reason he was making the video was not to get sympathy but to explain to his viewers why his content quality had slipped recently and also to reach out to others struggling with depression to get them to go seek help. He also said that he was going to go get professional help and not make any videos for a bit, except for one he is almost done with.
