Musicians are up to three times more likely to suffer from depression than the general population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To coincide with the current Mental Health Awareness Week, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mind.org.uk\/workplace\/music-sector-guides\/\">UK charity Mind has released four new guides <\/a>to help musicians and producers manage their mental health, with particular focus on those in the <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/free-edm-and-electronic-music-distribution-including-spotify-apple-music-and-soundcloud\/\">electronic music<\/a> sector. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mind have partnered with <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/ninja-tune-launches-a-music-making-app-with-coldcut\/\">Ninja Tune, <\/a>POLY, Paradigm and Percolate to provide resources to help give those working in the <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/which-daw-is-the-best-for-electronic-music-producers\/\">electronic music<\/a> industry the support they need to improve their mental health at work.
