OnThe Verywell Mind Podcast, Amy Morin, LCSW, interviews authors, experts, entrepreneurs, athletes, musicians, and other inspirational people about the strategies that help them think, feel, and do their best in life.
Andy Grammer is a singer, songwriter, and record producer. He’s best known for his song, “Honey, I’m Good,” which peaked at number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100.
His music is uplifting,but he felt depressed during the pandemic. Now, he’s talking about how he went to therapy, what he learned, and why anyone can develop depression.
Andy could have kept his battle with depression private. After all, talking about his struggles with mental health may have affected his career since he talks so much aboutjoy and happiness.
But he chose to make his battle public because he wanted to reduce the stigma associated with mental health issues. He began seeing a therapist and shared how it helped, what he learned, and why even happy people can develop depression.
Loneliness and Mental Health Distress Have a Cyclical Relationship
Sometimes people assume that depression only happens to people who have difficult circumstances.
There’s a belief that if you have a good life and you feel depressed, you must be ungrateful for what you have. But that’s not true.
There are a lot of factors that affect mental health and depression. The current environment is one of those factors. But biology and past life experiences also play a role.
You might be in a happy relationship, working at a job you like, and living an overall good life and still develop a mental health issue, likedepression or anxiety. Developing a mental health issue doesn’t mean you’re weak or have done anything wrong.
