One More Light: Dave Navarro Opens Up On Mental Health With MusiCares
With studies showing 70 percent of music people suffer from anxiety and depression, the message that help is out there has never been more important. MusiCares provides mental health and addiction services, counseling, and treatment to support music professionals. GRAMMY-nominated guitarist Dave Navarro recently shared his experience with past mental health challenges, providing a message of hope for those still suffering.
"Some of the loneliest times in my life have been in rooms full of thousands of people because not one of them knew what was going on inside me," says Navarro. "Rarely do we pick up the phone at 3 a.m. after a gig and ask for help. … What's great about MusiCares is that it is now recognized and it is well known that it is here to help. The real challenge is letting people know that it is a great strength to reach out for support."

"One of the reasons we are experiencing the love and the sense of fulfillment we are as a group right now is that … we're able to do shows where we're playing to maybe three generations of people, and you include the equation of time for someone like us who's been around for so long, and it just makes you feel like finally you know you've done your job right."
