• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

(I'm copy pasting this around the recovery forums so sorry about duplicate posts - erm I think this thread was a better place to post this in the Bipolar Disorder forum than the Coffeshop. oh well, duplicate posts)

Here is a good article about music being a medicine for mental illness.
The Perfect Prescription: A musician explores the role music has played in treating his mental illness | Baltimore City Paper

I don't know what kind of music you all listen to but when I want distorted guitar I try something like Guided By Voices - Bee Thousand or Grifters - Ain't My Lookout.

When I want pretty folk-rock or pretty soft rock I try Belle and Sebastian, The Sea and Cake, Archer Prewitt, Nick Drake, Jim Guthrie, and King Creosote.

When I want something intellectually stimulating I try King Crimson, Tortoise, or Autechre.

For beautiful progressive rock I try early Genesis (selling england by the pound/the lamb lies down on broadway) and early Yes.

For glam rock there is a great album called Roxy Music - The Early Years
