Dr. Jessi Gold, a psychiatrist in St. Louis who treats many college students, frequently refers clients to the song Anziety, by the rapper Logic, which contains a detailed account of a panic attack. It's exactly the way a patient would describe it, she said. I had never heard that in a song.
Alex Kresovich, who has studied mental health references in pop music, said Kanye West's 2008 album 808s & Heartbreak, paved the way for a sub-genre known as emo rap. On the album, West, who now goes by Ye, chronicled his grief and depression after a breakup and his mother's death. Not only are these songs existing, he said. The difference now is that we're seeing these songs topping the charts.
