According to Deadline, Noah Schnapp (Hubie Halloween, Waiting for Anya) claims he wants to see more mental health resources available for his industry peers. Schnapp revealed that after thinking he didn’t need it as a “happy-go-lucky kid,” he’s since gone to therapy, which he agrees with Ariana Grande (Wicked, Don’t Look Up) that it should be mandatory for children in their line of work.

“It’s hard to grow up in the public eye,” he told USA Today via Deadline. “You don’t know yourself, you haven’t figured anything out, and now you’re expected to know everything and have all the answers.”

Schnapp continued via Deadline , “I was constantly saying the wrong things or being embarrassed by not taking certain things seriously that I should’ve, and then that lives on forever. People grow and learn, and to do that publicly is not easy.”

As per Deadline, when Stranger Things was under production for the first season, Schnapp was 11 years old. The first season of Stranger Things premiered on Netflix in 2016. The series follows a group of friends as they investigate supernatural events in their small town after one of their friends suddenly disappears. They eventually meet a a mysterious girl with psychic powers named Eleven, who escapes from a secret government lab that accidentally opened a portal to a dark dimension known as the Upside Down.

“Through the years, it becomes like, ‘No, this is an abnormal life and you need some type of support system outside of your parents,’” said Schnapp via Deadline..

“Growing up, I never understood why people were depressed or turned to drugs or had eating disorders. As you get older, you understand how the pressures of Hollywood can create that,” he added via Deadline. “I always tell my parents, ‘I could never live in LA. I think I would get lost.’”

All seasons of Stranger Things are available to stream on Netflix. The second part of the fifth and final season airs on December 24.
