Adam and Lydia weren’t just siblings, they were comedy collaborators and best friends as well. While Adam had experienced some mental health issues over the years, Lydia’s took a very severe turn in her twenties, just as Adam’s career as a comedian, television show maker, and actor was getting off the ground. Just when he got his big break, Lydia died by suicide, Adam finding her afterwards. Adam’s life with Lydia, his grief, and a subsequent spiral of his own is now a film, See You When I See You, and he joins Dr. Michelle K. Murray about his efforts to promote mental health, dispel myths about suicide, and talk about the funny, caring, and wonderful person his sister was and how she lives on in the work he does.
