“I've done so many terrible shows. I've done so many shows where I didn't know what I was doing, where it wasn't funny,” admits comedian Fred Armisen who spent 7 years as a drummer with punk band Trenchmouth. “If something's terrible, so what? Who cares? it's just an evening and it passes,” who’s attitude when things go sour has gotten him far in the entertainment world. “Audiences, you know, their people too. They go on with their night. It’s not the end of the world.”

Listen to the wisdom of Fred along with expert therapist Keren Clark speak on DBT and “radical acceptance” on the CHECK YOUR HEAD: Mental Help for Musicians Podcast

“I can't understand why, at 12 years old, I would look up at a gun rack and go, ‘I wonder if I shot myself, would anybody notice?’” says Chris Robertson of Black Stone Cherry before being diagnosed with bipolar disorder on CHECK YOUR HEAD: Mental Help for Musicians Podcast.

“The song ' Push Down and Turn’ is about what I have to do day-to-day to keep moving forward. It’s not easy,” he admits. “My hope is that when someone says, ‘I need help,’ people's ears perk up instead of being brushed off." Expert Carly Hester of NAMI further explains bipolar and professional solutions for this condition.

“ There's so many mental health issues in my family, so it's definitely something genetically in me, for sure,” says pop singer Gabbie Hanna, who’s experiences include depression, ADHD, bulimia, bipolar disorder, and one big dysfunctional family. “When you spend a life being gaslighted, lied to and being made to feel like your problem, you’re not really learning how to have healthy relationships. I felt like a monster.” Watch Gabbie’s riveting interview and recovery journey on CHECK YOUR HEAD Podcast.
