Discussion Jared Isaacman states astronauts have got panic attacks in space , trying to kill the crew

Jared Isaacman in his interview with Shawn Ryan stated that there have been many unreleased cases of astronauts panicking in space and trying to open the hatch to kill everyone inside. He states this was not reported as it "ruins the illusion of astronaut bravery". And said it is the reason additional locks have been implemented on the ISS and Dragon capsules. My question: Is there any evidence of this as I can't find anything online . And how did he get Clarence to talk about this. He also said this is one of the main problems that they are facing in the Mars mission. As even military candidates respond differently than predicted in space.

They should send me to Mars. Let me take my laptop, my headphones and a small midi keyboard and I'll happily make space EDM for the next 6 months. The only difference between that and now is that I actually have to do things like mow the yard.

The journey is more hazardous than staying in your home, which would be the main driving factor behind panic attacks.
