Dylan Minnette Talks Clay's Mental Health in '13 Reasons Why' Season 2

13 Reasons Why season two is only a few more days away and Dylan Minnette is preparing you to watch Clay’s struggle with his mental health.

In a new interview with Buzzfeed, the 21-year-old actor opened up about Clay continues to struggle with the aftermath of Hannah’s suicide and how it impacts his mental health.

“It definitely is something that should be addressed because I think it’s pretty clear that he definitely has some issues and he is struggling,” Dylan says. “It really takes a toll on him and almost takes him completely to the edge in this season.”

Clay is trying to move on, but it doesn’t seem like that’s going to happen: “He’s trying his best to just live his life, but it becomes apparent pretty quickly that that’s just not possible.”

“I think people can tell that Clay had some hint of a mental illness and he is depressed and he has some issues,” he adds. “But I hope that people can see it’s a much larger issue in Season 2, and that there’s much deeper problems within Clay that we didn’t get to see in Season 1.”

Fans have already seen in the trailer that Clay has arguments with Hannah, and he’ll space out and talk to himself; and it’s something that will take a toll on him and his friends.

“After Season 1, I remember thinking to myself, ‘What emotional journey can Clay go on that even compares to the level of what he went through in Season 1?’ And as it turns out, it’s still a pretty emotional journey for Clay,” Dylan says. “It’s a very emotionally and physically demanding season for Clay this year.”

13 Reasons Why season two premieres on Friday, May 18th on Netflix.
