The Young and the Restless Spoilers: Melissa Claire Egan Says That There’s More Trouble Ahead For Chelsea

Opening up about Chelsea’s struggles and her near suicide attempt, Melissa said that the writers of the show did take measures to ensure credibility. She explained to the publication, “Yes, Dr. Dan Reidenberg has been so incredible as a consultant to the writers and to me. I have FaceTimed and texted with him many times, and he has provided such a plethora of information. It was fascinating and heartbreaking to talk to him because I wanted to get into the mindset of someone in so much pain and she just wants to escape it. Dr. Dan couldn’t have been more helpful to get me into that zone. I’ve learned that depression is an illness that you sometimes can’t see past and suicide can seem like your only option.”

Melissa also opened up about Billy and Sharon coming to Chelsea’s aid. She said, “Yes, Billy went to Sharon for help. She’s very knowledgeable about this stuff and Chelsea definitely needs help. You will be seeing Sharon really supporting Chelsea in her time of need.”
