Resumen
(ES) En este trabajo nos centraremos en el tema de la salud mental, sus principales tipos, y en cómo los diferentes
artistas de los principales géneros musicales como el pop o el rock hacen uso de este tema en sus
composiciones. Primeramente, se dará una definición para la salud mental, y se indagará en los trastornos
más frecuentes para poder contextualizar y clasificar los diferentes temas musicales seleccionados
posteriormente. Además, se hablará de la importancia de la música como un método para tratar estas
enfermedades mentales y se hará hincapié en las causas que llevan a una gran cantidad de músicos a padecer
estos trastornos por causas relacionadas con su trabajo. Finalmente, se realizará un análisis de varias
canciones comprendidas entre los años 80 hasta la actualidad con el fin de comparar el modo en que los
diferentes artistas abordan el tema de la salud mental en sus composiciones.
