From Kurt Cobain to Demi Lovato, there is an endless list of musicians with mental illnesses. It’s no coincidence that mental health affects creative energy, but it can be challenging to find the right song for what you’re going through. Instead of combing through music that doesn’t fit your mood at all, I compiled a list of 50 songs that encompass mental illness.
