0:00.0	You're listening to an Ono Media podcast. Hey everyone and welcome back to the Into the Dark podcast.
0:06.1	I'm your host, Peyton Morland. I'm so glad that you are here, that you are up, that you are listening
0:10.9	to today's episode. If you are watching on YouTube, can you please do all the things, interact

0:28.9	Honestly, either way, I'm just so happy you are here. For my 10 seconds this episode, I am going to talk about Halloween because Halloween was this last week. Honestly, I had so much fun. I dressed up as a

1:25.9	Okay. I'll get on that right now after this episode, guys.
1:32.0	Um, okay. Yeah, I think that's all I have for my 10 seconds. So let's get into the episode. If you are a
1:39.3	long time listener, you probably know that I talk about mental health a lot on this show. It is an
1:46.0	important topic to me. I think it's good to be open about it. And of course, I also cover a lot of
1:51.6	true crime here as well. I haven't always focused on the way that these ideas can impact one
1:58.3	another, but the truth is, some mental health conditions can cause people
2:02.9	to behave erratically. And that might make some people more likely to commit violent crimes.
