Chad is amazing and an awesome actor. He's doing so good. And that he plays your son on GH. You keep bringing it every week. Thanks for everything you do.
The part about living with anxiety was really spot on. And when you are in any kind of relationship dealing with it, either personal or professional it amps it up even more. I can't even imagine how difficult it would be to navigate it when you are in the public eye. Sometimes relationships work out and sometimes they don't. I wish both Chad and Courtney all the best going forward. Before I went off Instagram I followed them on their pages. They seemed like lovely, sensitive people. Great interview. 💌💌💌💌💌
I never knew that Mr CHAD DEULL had ANXIETY about his new job at GH. I APPLAUD 👏 him 👏 🙌 😍 for sticking with the job!! GOD BLESS CHAD for COPING under DIFFICULT TIMES knowing that another young man was fired 😳 so CHAD could take over the role of MICHAEL CORINTHOS. I LOVED the other actor ❤, but I KNOW that CHAD has made the character of MICHAEL his 👋 own. I LOVE HIM WITH ALL OF THE ACTORS/ACTRESSES who play his family and friends ❤!!!As usual another ❤ GREAT STATE OF 💙 MIND show with the EQUALLY GREAT Mr MAURICE BENARD. I LOVE ❤ YOU BOTH AND GOD BLESS YOU 2 GENTLEMEN & YOUR FAMILIES. I also think that whatever happened with CHAD & his wife COURTNEY IS NOBODIES BUSINESS BUT THEIR OWN!!!! I WISH 🤞 THEM BOTH WELL IN THEIR FUTURES!!!!
Another episode that is genuine and honest . The respect you both have for each other is very apparent, as is the fact that this was a truthful conversation ,no acting .Chad was very open which in turn will help people. Maurice you are helping so many and I have no doubt even saving lives .State of Mind has raised and continues to raise significant awareness and the importance of Mental illness and Mental health .It shows your character Maurice. Your love ,empathy,commitment and compassion for your fellow humans. You don't charge a dime for your help, and your not hesitant to tell it like it is . You openly admit your faults and your quick to say you were wrong about things. Highest respect and admiration to you and your wife .No I'm not blowing smoke . I really believe that you are doing a great work .I know it to be so.Thank you and GOD Bless.
The performance of Cynthia and YOU did was incredible. The scene where Nina put her arm around you and you are crying and you put your head on her shoulder and finally you realize you are having a manic episode was so real. Congratulations to both of you! It made me cry. Emmy worthy! So glad you got performer of the week! So good they are doing a story showing mental health affects! Looking forward to you and Chad! ❤️
Gets better every week. I was so excited to see this episode...to see "dad and son" interact. Was in awe the whole time. Such honesty and raw emotion during the whole time. Chad, thank you for opening your life up to all of us. Can't wait for next week.
I can totally relate to Chad’s story. I was reunited with my dad and two half brothers when I was 26 years old. They didn’t even know that I ever existed. This experience was never short of challenges, but it was also so incredible and surreal. I’m so grateful to you all for your honesty and for the way you are helping so many people. God bless you!
Truly enjoy listening to State of Mind. This episode was so good b/c they play father/son on TV. Such a fantastic episode. Such honesty from Chad. Just goes to show you that GH stars are human like the rest of us. We are all just trying to live our lives and be the best version of ourselves. Best to Maurice and Chad. 🙏❤
This is cool having these two actors talking to each other. Chad Duell is extremely funny. Its very interesting that Chad is very opening to whatever was going on with his family, sibling life, etc. Very honest to become open by real life stories.
I have these same panic attacks and severe anxiety that Chad is speaking of almost every time I go in public or if I’m doing any activities in which people are watching me. I am 46 yrs old, and I’ve had this anxiety most of my life. I had to quit playing basketball in high school bc I would literally vomit before every game. I avoid crowded places like Walmart bc the anxiety is so severe, by the time I get out, I’m sweating, nausea/vomiting, busting headache, dizziness, panic attacks, etc. It’s truly crippling and so difficult to treat bc everyone is so different. Stay strong Chad, and thank you for talking about it! Sending love and positivity to you! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Maurice . My daughter for Mother’s Day surprised me with a Message from Chad which brought me to tears in a good way. Hopefully someday she will surprise me with a message from you. So far she got me your book which I loved. I have enjoyed watching the chemistry you have with Chad on GH and your interview on State Of Mind. God bless you both. ❤️🤗🥰🇨🇦
I love this “father son duo”! You two are so funny when you get together off screen and so amazing on screen as well!! Sending lots of love to you, Chad! ❤️ Glad you are close to your adopted sister now! 💕💕 Great episode Maurice!! Thanks for all of these important & amazing conversations!! Much appreciated! ❣️❣️❣️
Thank you Maurice and Chad, very open and honest interview. He is so awesome on the show. Wonderful actor. It’s good to hear from him a little bit of what happened with him and Courtney. God Bless you both.
This was my favorite so far. I love Chad and believe it or not I totally identify with him and I'm a 70+ woman!! It's so nice when these are upbeat also. Loved it!!
Another fabulous episode. Love both their characters and I am happy to see him be so respectful to Courtney. Blessings to all. Maurice, you keep hitting those home runs.
Thanks Chad for opening up with Maurice, I hope for you and Courtney joy and happiness. Always good to learn more about my characters on GH❤️ thx Maurice blessings
I have suffered from anxiety for years and could relate to everything you were saying!! Thank you for what you're doing with State of Mind....makes me feel like I'm not alone!! 💙
Omgoodness this was SOO good. My daughter has anxiety and she’s been performing with a band for a couple years. The school she’s in has her perform in front of an audience and she does amazing up until it’s time to get on stage, then 5 minutes before she falls apart, then she’s up there and I can see her wide eyed and sick. I feel like saving her. Like throwing her under my jacket and pointing to everyone and saying, “stop staring!” 😂 but I know I can’t. Because she never gets to the point where she wants to quit AND every time she performs she gets better and better!! It’s so necessary for her to grow!! I love the way Chad pointed this out!!!
I love that everything is so unscripted, so down to earth. Maurice you put everyone at ease, allowing them to speak openly and honestly about any topic. Thank you!
I love this show! I hope to see more people up here from all over! My top picks would be: Vanessa Marcille, Roger Horwarth, Sonya Edy and Stephen Nichols.
Finally got to see this live. Thank you Maurice and Chad. I'll have to go back and relisten more closely to what Chad was saying about facing your anxiety but respect to him and you for being so open. I needed this this week. Been feeling some mania, racing thoughts, these lows. For me it's sometimes SM and not feeling comfortable with voicing my own thoughts and silencing myself to avoid conflict. 💯❤
I love the honesty in your conversation and how even after many years, there is still something to be learned about each other. I really appreciated how Chad was open about his anxiety about the new job and also how other cast members stepped up and really smoothed out this transition. As a viewer of the show, it just seemed so seamless but the reality was so different. What you do as actors is so mind-boggling to me. Thank you for doing this episode.
I liked this episode before I started listening to it because I know your interviews are always good, helpful, and informative. I also like your connection with Chad Duell and your other General Hospital sons.
Thank you for this! I love the ease/ comfort between you two. It warms my heart to see how much you care for one another. The Sonny/ Michael relationshiip on GH is one of my absolute favorites. (Although having Michael take Sonny's side during familial conflicts once in awhile would be cool LOL) I have read and loved your book several times this past year and must thank you for your honesty and humility....and for making me laugh as well. You are an inspiration and wonderful example of the power of love that helps lift people to heights they never could have imagined reaching. Your lessons on strength and perseverance are amazing. Keep up the wonderful work you do to help others. And for letting us GH fans get to know your friends/coworkers in ways we never would. They amaze me with their candor. Thank you
I absolutely loved this sunday's show. Chad it looks like you get heartburn from coffee as well as myself nothing a little baking soda in water won't help or some ginger. I have watched general hospital since it was in black and white I liked the other Michael as a child but I couldn't see him growing into an adult Michael I've loved you from the beginning. Maurice I love what you do on Sundays it makes my heart happy. PS I could see what a character Chad would be pretty funny
Sometimes people have to get married, to get divorced, in order to actually officially part ways. More power to them and hope they both find happiness - whatever that looks like for each of them.
Your performance this week has been very moving and intense. Years ago Sally Field played the bipolar mother of Abby Lochart on ER. I found myself wondering if you ever saw those? It was such a performance, especially for someonewho ISNT bipolar. My own mother was bipolar, and those story arcs were difficult (but mesmerizing) to watch because they were so spot on. Maybe hard for you to watch too I guess. Im so glad you have stayed on your medications once you understood what the problem was. So many people stop taking their medicine over & over, dragging their family through hell each time. Heck, I really want to take my antidepressants, but between the drs office, pharmacy, insurance, and my own issues, i can have long delays where I dont have what I need sometimes. Its a constant battle of endless phone calls all the time trying to figure out why the perscriptions arent filled this time, while everybody points their fingers at each other. Its utterly maddening. I hope you dont have as much trouble as I do with that bs. They arent the ones going through withdrawls! I wish it was just over the counter.
Yes, what Chad just said about the more you go thru it (anxiety/panic attacks ) & experience it the better able you are to handle it & the less it immobilizes you is so true. I started having Panic Attacks when my son was about a year old cause I was so stressed out as a young Mother (22), I was also an only child so no younger siblings so I was very Anxious, & had occasional full blown panic attacks but was afraid to go to a Dr. finally found articles in magazines that described what I was going thru which helped. I learned on my own to talk myself thru them by telling myself: you are OK, it’s just a panic attack, take a deep breath & slowly blow it out your mouth, think Calm, repeat 10 times. Then later on as they got less intense I would count to 4 repeatedly while listening to Music searching for a Song i knew all the words to cause if I sang along That calmed Me so lastly I just listen to Music ( usually oldies from my youth ) when I am stressed & I also Pray cause Jesus has also brought Me thru A lot the last few years without Anxiety/Panic Attacks. We started going to Church & My Faith in The Lord has brought Me thru Physical Pain, the Loss Of my Parents ( especially My Mom who was my Best Friend ), My Husband’s Best Friend, My Husbands health issues ( he had to leave his job because he became disabled ) so came a significant drop in income. So I’m managing to hold it all together with Jesus’s help. Now my Husband has Anxiety attacks so I try to help him. Sorry this is so long guess I just needed someone to talk to that would understand it. Love you Guys so much & I look forward to my General Hospital hour everyday, y’all don’t know Me but to Me y’all are like Family. Love your TH-cam Channel Maurice, I am Subscribed! 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏻😊
Maurice, I have been watching your channel for awhile, what s tricks me is how you get people to be open. You have an amazing gift for making your guests feel safe with you. If you ever want a career change (God forbid), you would make a wonderful therapist.
Nice to see you guys off the set you both excellent actors. Hope you have him on again and ask why and how he got started in acting. Fun interesting interview.
I love that these interviews are like pleasant surprises. I think, "oh, it's so and so and they'll probably talk about this or that" and no, it goes in some other amazing direction all it's own.
Loved this episode. Thank you so much for your openness and honesty. Loved seeing the both of you interact. I wish both Chad and Courtney much happiness in the future.
I love State of Mind! Congratulations Maurice! Thanks for having Chad Duell on the show. I remember when he started on GH in the role of Michael. I liked him from day 1. The topic of anxiety was very helpful to hear about.
What an awesome conversation! Thank you Maurice for this platform you bring to us and for touching on all aspects of mental health issue. And thank you Chad for your honesty and vulnerability. We certainly don't deserve an explanation for your personal situation but so happy that it has evolved to an amicable resolution for all parties involved. Blessings to all of you. 🙏🏼💖
Great interview. Learned so many things about Chad I love his acting. So real. I can totally understand anxiety I am not an actor, but live with it take a small amount of meds for it each day. Thank you for having Chad on your show.
Thank you Maurice and Chad for this candid interview. It never ceases to amaze me how many people struggle with anxiety. Because of State of Mind, we know we’re not alone. My heart is with Chad and Courtney. God bless and again, thank you both ♥️
Good interview with Chad. Sorry about breaking up with Courtney. Glad to hear the friendship still there. Please have Chad back. He is a funny person too.
I have battled anxiety for quite sometime, talking about it helps SO MUCH, so thank you, Maurice & Chad for sharing this. I love BOTH Courtney & Chad, & wish them nothing but the best❤🙏
God Bless you and thank you for all that you do! I am an older woman, (65) and home bound for the last 2 years now. I have various challenges such as GAD, Depression, Panic Attacks and PTSD, (I can’t take any medication due to allergies to meds), you help me feel like I’m not alone. Thank you so much! Long time GH fan too, watching GH is something I truly look forward to, feels like family. Best to you always, Melody
Anxiety can be so hard. I never knew you suffered Chad when you started GH like that. So glad Steve Burton helped you. Love these State of Minds. They sure help.
Love this episode so much. Chad reminds me of myself. I am so afraid of trying anything new, anything out of my comfort zone that I have stayed in the same job for over 25 years. I know I can get a higher paying job but I am paralyzed with fear to try something new. I understand what it’s like to meet new people to venture out of my bubble. I just can’t do it.
I really enjoy these episodes and look forward to them ! Thank you for shining a light on mental health. It is helpful to hear others share their challenges so we know we are not alone in them.
Wow! Thank you, both! Those of us who struggle with self-doubt, anxiety, the "inner voice that says you aren't cutting it," need to hear how others cope or struggle to be "normal" or fit in. It makes us realize we aren't alone - we aren't the odd-ball - we are human! Love you both and General Hospital ! Please keep doing State of Mind! Awesome doesn't do it justice - it's spectacular and thought-provoking! Thank you so much. Blessings to you and yours!
I suffer from anxiety ever since covid hit. I never suffered from anxiety or depression. I get overwhelming sadness at times. Great show as usual. Thank you Maurice and Chad.
Great episode..... I loved the whole thing..... ♥️ These two make a great team..... 😊 I love you, Chad..... 😍😘 I'm so happy to learn more about Chad, and his family..... I think it's so amazing that he wanted to get to know his sister after she was adopted..... Also, I commend him on being able to get through his GH character role, in the beginning..... I'm so thankful that Chad has been able to continue being on GH for such a long time..... I love watching every scene he's in..... 😊♥️👏🏽💯 I really hope I get the chance to meet him, and the whole GH cast, one day..... 🙏🏽♥️
This gets better each week. This was such an honest and wonderful conversation. Chad's very funny, but it was nice seeing this side of him. He's so insightful and kind. You do such a great job, Maurice. I hope we see Part 2 and the two of you switch places. Lol.
I would absolutely love to see Wally, Rebecca H., Kelly T., Tristan & Finola on here!!👍if anyone agrees?
And Roger.
@@jward8148 Yes and Roger too, of course!
Yea Rebecca h and what about Kelly Monaco actually opening up for once
Yes,great idea
@@cathyjones9548 Thank you!
I like this guy, he's just having a conversation, he's not trying to be tough, or a show off, or not bought into his own hype, very genuine.
Very talented men and good too see you guys together
they need to incorporate Chad’s ability with humor to his character! big hugs to both of you ♥️
Glad he’s okay and hope the best for them. Would’ve liked a longer interview about acting . Love watching you guys.
Thank you Chad for this interview and sharing so much about yourself and family. You have a contagious smile. GH should have you smile more. 😁
What a great conversation with Chad. Thanks again for showing me that there are problems everywhere. 🤗
I am so enjoying this State of Mind with Chad you can see the familiarity between the two of them it’s so cool
Such RAW HONESTY, it's refreshing AND sooooo appreciated. Thanks Maurice and Chad...Long-time GH fan 💕💕💕❣
Chad is amazing and an awesome actor. He's doing so good. And that he plays your son on GH. You keep bringing it every week. Thanks for everything you do.
Thank you Maurice for another good state of mind.Chad is a talented handsome actor.
The part about living with anxiety was really spot on. And when you are in any kind of relationship dealing with it, either personal or professional it amps it up even more. I can't even imagine how difficult it would be to navigate it when you are in the public eye. Sometimes relationships work out and sometimes they don't. I wish both Chad and Courtney all the best going forward. Before I went off Instagram I followed them on their pages. They seemed like lovely, sensitive people. Great interview. 💌💌💌💌💌
Thanks 😊
I never knew that Mr CHAD DEULL had ANXIETY about his new job at GH. I APPLAUD 👏 him 👏 🙌 😍 for sticking with the job!! GOD BLESS CHAD for COPING under DIFFICULT TIMES knowing that another young man was fired 😳 so CHAD could take over the role of MICHAEL CORINTHOS. I LOVED the other actor ❤, but I KNOW that CHAD has made the character of MICHAEL his 👋 own. I LOVE HIM WITH ALL OF THE ACTORS/ACTRESSES who play his family and friends ❤!!!As usual another ❤ GREAT STATE OF 💙 MIND show with the EQUALLY GREAT Mr MAURICE BENARD. I LOVE ❤ YOU BOTH AND GOD BLESS YOU 2 GENTLEMEN & YOUR FAMILIES. I also think that whatever happened with CHAD & his wife COURTNEY IS NOBODIES BUSINESS BUT THEIR OWN!!!!

Another episode that is genuine and honest . The respect you both have for each other is very apparent, as is the fact that this was a truthful conversation ,no acting .Chad was very open which in turn will help people. Maurice you are helping so many and I have no doubt even saving lives .State of Mind has raised and continues to raise significant awareness and the importance of Mental illness and Mental health .It shows your character Maurice.
Your love ,empathy,commitment and compassion for your fellow humans. You don't charge a dime for your help, and your not hesitant to tell it like it is .

The one we've all been waiting for! Great episode. Chad is a great guy.
Thank you for sharing!! Wishing Chad and Courtney both all the best! Absolutely love Maurice and Chads bond, on and off screen❤️
The performance of Cynthia and YOU did was incredible. The scene where Nina put her arm around you and you are crying and you put your head on her shoulder and finally you realize you are having a manic episode was so real. Congratulations to both of you! It made me cry. Emmy worthy! So glad you got performer of the week! So good they are doing a story showing mental health affects! Looking forward to you and Chad! ❤️
Yes that was fantastic! Well done!
Thanks 😊
It was a fabulous scene indeed but please, put Sonny & Carly back together. They are stronger together then apart.
Gets better every week. I was so excited to see this episode...to see "dad and son" interact. Was in awe the whole time. Such honesty and raw emotion during the whole time. Chad, thank you for opening your life up to all of us. Can't wait for next week.
Thanks 😊

The Sonny/ Michael relationshiip on GH is one of my absolute favorites. (Although having Michael take Sonny's side during familial conflicts once in awhile would be cool LOL)

Yes, what Chad just said about the more you go thru it (anxiety/panic attacks ) & experience it the better able you are to handle it & the less it immobilizes you is so true. I started having Panic Attacks when my son was about a year old cause I was so stressed out as a young Mother (22), I was also an only child so no younger siblings so I was very Anxious, & had occasional full blown panic attacks but was afraid to go to a Dr. finally found articles in magazines that described what I was going thru which helped.

So I’m managing to hold it all together with Jesus’s help. Now my Husband has Anxiety attacks so I try to help him. Sorry this is so long guess I just needed someone to talk to that would understand it. Love you Guys so much & I look forward to my General Hospital hour everyday, y’all don’t know Me but to Me y’all are like Family. Love your TH-cam Channel Maurice, I am Subscribed! 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏻😊

Love him so much would love a part 2 I always loved him from the first moment he was on GH!
Maurice your one is the the most real, professional and hilarious actors out there! So encouraging on every platform out there! True inspiration
Loved this episode. Thank you so much for your openness and honesty. Loved seeing the both of you interact. I wish both Chad and Courtney much happiness in the future.
I love State of Mind because of the stream of consciousness thing that happens every week - it's so bad ass! Great interview - both such cool guys!! ❤
I love State of Mind! Congratulations Maurice! Thanks for having Chad Duell on the show. I remember when he started on GH in the role of Michael. I liked him from day 1. The topic of anxiety was very helpful to hear about.
Thank You
Excellent interview so proud of Chad respecting Courtney👏👍👌❤❤❤
This was a bonus - they discussed his state of mind & there was interesting behind the scenes story
Thanks 😊
What an awesome conversation! Thank you Maurice for this platform you bring to us and for touching on all aspects of mental health issue. And thank you Chad for your honesty and vulnerability. We certainly don't deserve an explanation for your personal situation but so happy that it has evolved to an amicable resolution for all parties involved. Blessings to all of you. 🙏🏼💖
Love this interview! So cool. So spontaneous and interesting.
Thanks 😊
Great interview. Learned so many things about Chad I love his acting. So real. I can totally understand anxiety I am not an actor, but live with it take a small amount of meds for it each day. Thank you for having Chad on your show.
Thank you Maurice and Chad for this candid interview. It never ceases to amaze me how many people struggle with anxiety. Because of State of Mind, we know we’re not alone. My heart is with Chad and Courtney. God bless and again, thank you both ♥️
Many people
Good interview with Chad. Sorry about breaking up with Courtney. Glad to hear the friendship still there. Please have Chad back. He is a funny person too.
I have battled anxiety for quite sometime, talking about it helps SO MUCH, so thank you, Maurice & Chad for sharing this. I love BOTH Courtney & Chad, & wish them nothing but the best❤🙏
Love you Sonny and Michael. God bless you guys and keep doing what you're doing. Thank you for keeping us entertained all these years, especially now.
May each of your hearts (💙 ❤️) heal & continue to be truly Amicable. God Bless
God Bless you and thank you for all that you do!
I am an older woman, (65) and home bound for the last 2 years now. I have various challenges such as GAD, Depression, Panic Attacks and PTSD, (I can’t take any medication due to allergies to meds), you help me feel like I’m not alone. Thank you so much! Long time GH fan too, watching GH is something I truly look forward to, feels like family. Best to you always, Melody
Anxiety can be so hard. I never knew you suffered Chad when you started GH like that. So glad Steve Burton helped you. Love these State of Minds. They sure help.
Love this episode so much. Chad reminds me of myself. I am so afraid of trying anything new, anything out of my comfort zone that I have stayed in the same job for over 25 years. I know I can get a higher paying job but I am paralyzed with fear to try something new. I understand what it’s like to meet new people to venture out of my bubble. I just can’t do it.
Loved this moe so great!!!happy sunday!!
I really enjoy these episodes and look forward to them ! Thank you for shining a light on mental health. It is helpful to hear others share their challenges so we know we are not alone in them.
Love seeing this side of you
Great work
Also anxiety can blindside you when things are good. At least for me I find. Great segment Maurice and Chad. My favorite father and son duo.❤
Wow! Thank you, both! Those of us who struggle with self-doubt, anxiety, the "inner voice that says you aren't cutting it," need to hear how others cope or struggle to be "normal" or fit in. It makes us realize we aren't alone - we aren't the odd-ball - we are human! Love you both and General Hospital ! Please keep doing State of Mind! Awesome doesn't do it justice - it's spectacular and thought-provoking! Thank you so much. Blessings to you and yours!
Always great to watch but to see both of my favorite’s in this setting was great . Awesome job 🥰 .
So excited can't wait
I suffer from anxiety ever since covid hit. I never suffered from anxiety or depression. I get overwhelming sadness at times. Great show as usual. Thank you Maurice and Chad.

Great episode..... I loved the whole thing..... ♥️ These two make a great team..... 😊 I love you, Chad..... 😍😘
I'm so happy to learn more about Chad, and his family..... I think it's so amazing that he wanted to get to know his sister after she was adopted..... Also, I commend him on being able to get through his GH character role, in the beginning..... I'm so thankful that Chad has been able to continue being on GH for such a long time..... I love watching every scene he's in..... 😊♥️👏🏽💯 I really hope I get the chance to meet him, and the whole GH cast, one day.....
🙏🏽♥️

This gets better each week. This was such an honest and wonderful conversation. Chad's very funny, but it was nice seeing this side of him. He's so insightful and kind. You do such a great job, Maurice. I hope we see Part 2 and the two of you switch places. Lol.
