Behind the creativity, there is often a lot more going on.

Artists, musicians and performers can face significantly higher rates of anxiety, depression and substance use than the general population.

There is a unique paradox in creative work. You are expected to pour your whole self into what you do, while at the same time dealing with financial uncertainty, rejection, pressure and the reality of simply trying to make a living.

At some point, the pressure can become overwhelming.

So what happens when the thing that gives you purpose is also contributing to your distress?

Sometimes, the answer starts with stepping back, reconnecting with yourself and recognising that struggling does not make you less talented, less creative or less worthy.

The artist behind the art is a person too.
