=== Updates On Videos ===

For this part of the video, DanTDM mentioned that over the past 6 months, Dan has uploaded 9 videos which was basically unheard of. He later on explained that in back in the days, he used to post 2 videos a day which is over 600 per year and recently he has done 9 which proves how much Dan has scaled things down.

=== Depression and Therapy ===

3 years ago, Dan stated that he was severely depressed. Having a newborn with new parents was a challenge for him. Specifically, COVID has hit when he was 3 months old and he wasn't able to see anyone or leave the house and it was an awful time for Dan's family. And that's when it took a massive toll in Dan ~~and that's when~~ Dan was severely depressed and in a severely low mood. At one point, he almost didn't make it out as it was getting that bad for him. But luckily, Dan managed to have the strength to go to his doctor and getting it sorted out and also had to find some help as he also took some medication for his depression and he was on it for about a year ad after that he came out the other side and felt pretty good. And after another year has passed, Da started to feel the same thing he had which was a cycle of low moods and finds everything difficult and he was getting another sign of depression again. But luckily, Dan managed to notice the signs before it got really bad as he has been through it before and also he didn't want to go on medication and even if the medicine works, Dan stated that it would plaster over the issue without fixing his mind in which he described it as "thought processes". And recently, Dan mentioned that he finished weekly of therapy and he feels fantastic. His therapy session went through really well through CBT therapy (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). Dan also mentioned that ever since he stopped weekly therapy, he'll still go to therapy but not every week. He said that he would go to therapy once a month or once every two months or just feel whenever he needs it. And Dan soon realized that after all his work with his therapist and managing to overcome the other side and by changing the way he thinks, he felt like a brand new person. Dan then mentioned that he was extremely dubious and negative about therapy since the beginning, but it has completely changed his life. And the reason why Dan mentions this, because it can affect him making videos. So he has to be in the right mood to make videos because it was meant to be performing and enjoying ourselves and Dan didn't feel that enjoyable. But after he was out on the other side and working on himself for 3 years, he feels really good.

== Future ==

In the future, Dan has been working hard on his live channel which is pretty much short and sharp recordings of playing games like he used to do back in the day. He then mentions about covering Minecraft Legends but in honesty, Dan felt super bored with that game. He got excited for it but then it got so boring. And he also wants to do a mega video where completes Minecraft Legends in one video. And the big part is where he covered the new FNAF: Security Breach: Ruins DLC which is coming in 8 days. He then mentioned that he vowed by not doing long series on the channel anymore, but he will for sure play it once he finds the right time to whether it would take until midnight to get it out for his viewers. He then moves on to talk about Minecraft. Dan mentioned that he hasn't uploaded a Minecraft video (not including Minecraft Legends) for over 8 months. He also wanted to do a long video of the new update of the Sniffers in Minecraft but he also decided if he wants to do a Custom Mod Adventure for it, old-school style but he wasn't sure. It's just that Dan thinks he hasn't gotten any ideas to hop in Minecraft yet or the time to pull it off. And to end on that note, Dan said he will always think about Minecraft. And to end it all of it off, Dan mentioned he will continue to work on shorts as much as he can, long form videos as much as he can. Dan also pointed out that he uploaded over 6 videos in 2 weeks for his [[DanTDM Live (Channel)|live channel]] and as mentioned above, he has uploaded 9 videos in 6 months on his [[DanTDM (channel)|main channel]].
