In this episode of Crime Scene Insiders, we open up about our own struggles with mental health and the impact of working as Crime Scene Investigators (CSI).

From shocking crime scenes to the moments that never leave you, we share the side of CSI work that doesn’t make it onto TV. We discuss the cases that turned our stomachs, the emotional weight of dealing with victims and their families, and the coping mechanisms that helped us survive life on the frontline.

We also talk honestly about stigma — why asking for help used to feel impossible, and how attitudes towards mental health in policing and forensics are finally starting to change.

👉 If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like behind the scenes of CSI work — or you’ve faced your own battles with mental health — this episode is for you.
