The youtube and the ParamountPress site give this description:
Friday on "The Talk" actress Melissa Claire Egan CBS' THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS shares a sneak peek and opens up about her character Chelsea Lawson's mental health struggle leading to thoughts of suicide. "It's been very serious and heavy and really relevant. I was honored to be able to tell this story. It's just so important for these times", says Egan. "It affects so many people and I think it's so important to get a conversation going, even though it can be uncomfortable. I was truly honored, and I just wanted to make sure it was done respectively and responsibly which our show really did a great job of doing." She adds, "We hoped it would make an impact, but I truly didn't understand the magnitude. Just the DM's, the tweets, people tweeting me their stories and their honesty about this happened to my cousin three days ago, or I lost my son a year ago...it's created such a conversation, it gives me goosebumps." Egan also shares an exclusive preview with Chelsea having her first in-patient session with a therapist as she works to rebuild her life.
