Hi Joe, thankfully, I don't struggle with depression but I believe that music and music therapy can benefit those facing a variety of challenges.
I also believe that while pharmacueticals can be beneficial in certain situations, many can cause unwanted side-effects as you point out.

Here is a resource I discovered today that hopefully will be useful. I like what this gal has to say, how she thinks and how she plays her instrument. Plus I learned a few things from her. I just wish they would have boosted her vocal mic, I found that headphones were needed to hear all she was saying.

Listen for Life


All the best man, keep the faith. There are solutions out there.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
