I think in the name of making it “normal” or less stigmatized, people have crossed the line into making it a trend. Now everyone self-diagnoses and YEARNS for a mental illness. They sell cutesy merchandise for it as well. The sad part is that it’s dangerous when something is normalized and not seen as an “illness” that should be treated.

Very very well said

Mental health issues are so real. I grew up in the 80's with anxiety and depression. Suicide rates were high at my school. These were basically taboo topics in the 80's. Personally for me people never understood me, basically thought that I was weird. I really appreciate you, Caleb, because you are open and honest. Mental health issues need to be spoken about, Without judgment. With you Openly talking, writing and singing about your battles has helped me in so many ways. It helps me to not feel alone. You also inspire me to do better. Learning to love oneself is very hard to do. I am so grateful to you and your band.

I think there's a big difference in Caleb writing these songs since he's made some key changes. He still writes sad songs, but Look the Other Way is a sad song with some hope, while Clever from the Disease album feels completely hopeless...

Go listen to Reputation by Post Malone and tell me that song isn’t exactly about the fact that he can’t become sober and begin to fix his life, because then what will he be to his fans?

[@PleaseForgiveYourself]

It isn't just chemical makeup either, alot of it is spiritual.

[@ryanrowe1975]

I think Caleb writes his own songs and looks the other side of a sad songs to recognize the benefit that will worked for a music business to earning more money on musical events

If anything it brings awareness...I suffer from mental health issues and there is a widespread crisis throughout healthcare where they will not actually diagnose you in my opinion (professionally) they are more concerned about just getting wut they can from insurance.... The problem on the other hand is a person's mental issue is due to special individual circumstances that MUST be truly listened to and met with enough compassion to properly diagnose....but good luck EVER revamping the process of healthcare...this is literally the best system we got... 5 star major payout incentives and a proper anymouse way to weed out the malpracticing nurses/doctors that are there simply because "this is the best thing they could find" career wise....guarantee we'd see a slump in these constant mass shootings

Hurting has always been trendy. Melpomene strikes again.

I understand living with depression but having this dudes money would make everything better 😂
