The Music and Mental Health Podcast Episode 8

🎙️ Podcast 008 – Stigma & Mental Health in Music

Hosts: Stuart (aka @psychosis0161) & Katie Neall
Special Guest: Amey St Cyr

When we talk about music, we often celebrate the creativity, the energy and the connection it brings. But behind the spotlight, many musicians carry invisible struggles. Mental health challenges are still surrounded by stigma, misunderstandings, silence and judgement that can weigh heavier than the music itself.

In this episode, we're diving into how stigma shapes the lives of artists and how it impacts their careers, and why breaking the silence matters not just for musicians, but for all of us.

Katie and Stuart are joined by Amey St Cyr, a dynamic artist, presenter, and creative mentor whose work champions empowerment, authenticity, and expression. Drawing on her lived experience across music, media, and advocacy, Amey brings honesty, insight, and warmth to the conversation.

A powerful discussion about creativity, confidence, recovery, and community through music. 💚🎶
