In a 2023 episode of the “Studio 22” podcast, Presley said, “Having struggled with mental health, depression and some other things that come along with that, I think that whether I help one person or a hundred people get out of that place that I was in at one point in my life, that’s all I need to do.”
He went on to say mental health “is such a big part of my life. It’s a 24/7 job, and there’s so much to it.”
