In support of World Mental Health Day, GRAMMY®-winning, multi-Platinum band Imagine Dragons release the music video for “I Don’t Like Myself” from their album Mercury — Acts 1 & 2.
Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds said:
I wrote this song at a very low point for me. I struggled quite a bit with self-love over the years. I was in a deep rut of depression and turned to music for refuge. I’ve since spent many years in therapy working on self-love. I believe therapy is the reason I am still alive today. If it’s ever a question of whether or not you should go to therapy. The answer is always yes. Stay alive.
