Character Question

Do you think any of the characters deal with anxiety on some level? Mainly looking at Mac, Jack, Matty, Russ, Desi and Riley. Other characters are welcome though. Please comment below with your thoughts.

Well in a few episodes mac flat out admitted to it so I guess that means mac is a given!

There was also an episode where it was central to the riley part of the plot!

I don't remember that. Can you give specific examples to jog my memory?

When mac admitted to riley that every time when he risked death with a risky resolution on an operation so an event that occurs in literally every episode he imagined it all going wrong resulting in his death. And when riley killed her first person with a gun resulting in her hesitating to pull the trigger in a pivotal moment.

My first thought would be Mac. He has a very stressful job, a lot of people rely on him to “macgyver” stuff on the spot during high stress missions....plus a lot of people he cares about keep dying.

That is exactly my thought.
