Having discussions and raising awareness about it helps bring about a conversation that mental health illnesses too should be diagnosed and one should receive treatment for it just as they would for their physical health. Although being a musician can be rewarding, there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes, some things known through their music, some battles unknown. We’ve lost so many brilliant musicians to it. ##### You May Also Read: [Musicians Who Have Opened Up About Their Mental Health Struggles](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2022/05/16/musicians-who-have-opened-up-about-their-mental-health-struggles) A 2019 survey conducted by the digital distribution platform Record Union with almost 1,500 musicians shared the results that more than 73% of independent music makers [suffer](https://blog.recordunion.com/the-73-percent/the-73-percent-initiative) from symptoms of mental illness.
