Medication: Musician David Wimbish Normalizes Psychiatric Care Through Art

One chilly Maine morning, enveloped in a snowed-in cabin, musician DW sat at a piano recording a melody that had just popped into his brain. As he played, the phrase "I deserve to be well" tumbled out of his mouth in song.

He immediately broke down in tears asking, "Wow, do I really believe this?"

That question, and the ensuing album he created with his band The Collection, fueled an artistic journey to make sense of depression, the stigma of psychiatric medication, and asserting self-worth.

We sit down with David to hear his mental health story, why he chose to share it publicly, and enjoy a special performance of two new singles from The Collection's upcoming album.
