A popular astrophysicist has revealed the massive response he received after he opened up about his own struggle with mental illness, saying hundreds of thousands of Australians had reached out to him with their own “heartbreaking” stories.
Matt Agnew, returning to speak with LiSTNR’s Jess Rowe, said a multitude of people had reached out to him after he revealed he had tried to take his own life in 2021.

Dr Agnew said he was surprised by the lack of trolling that followed his frank admission about his experiences with clinical depression.
