  "account": "On World Mental Health Day, the music industry reflects on the importance of mental health, drawing from the experiences of artists who have bravely opened up about their struggles. Olivia Rodrigo's latest album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So In Love, resonates with fans who see their own feelings of sadness, loneliness, and heartache in its melancholic themes. Rodrigo's song \"What's Wrong With Me\" features the line, \"I'm just staring at the ceiling, can't describe this feeling,\" a poignant reminder that we're not alone in our struggles.\n\nIn Billboard's Like Minded series, Monaleo and Kehlani discuss the challenges of balancing motherhood and self-care, noting that 63% of U.S. women struggle to prioritize their health. The music industry has shown a growing trend of artists prioritizing mental health, from rising stars to established legends like Ella Langley, Ariana Grande, Lola Young, and Jelly Roll. These artists have canceled tours, taken breaks, and sought therapy to ensure they're taking care of themselves, proving that mental health is essential for everyone, regardless of their success. As the industry continues to navigate fame's double-edged sword, mental health checkups remain a vital part of life, even for those who appear to have it all together.",
