DJs and Mental Health

Link to this giant article about some of the mental health issues that some DJs suffer from and questions why its still considered a big taboo in the scene:

quote:
�I�ve had burnout twice in my life; I had a burnout when I was 20 and I had a burnout when I was 30,� Laidback Luke confides to online publication, OnlyTheBeat. For a mini-documentary entitled, My Son The DJ, the Dutch DJ elaborates further regarding the latter incident. In 2010 Laidback Luke had the most international bookings out of all Dutch artists (150 in one year) � this inordinate touring schedule, combined with the breakup of his marriage lead to this second period of burnout. �I was in the bus enjoying my time off and I all I wanted to do was fucking scream inside of the bus because I was just getting crazy,� he explains. This is the response of someone who is not just suffering from physical fatigue, but from something more complex, and sometimes misunderstood; nervous exhaustion.
