Best songs about anxiety-related mental disorders

[Justinian]

In the top ten has to be the Elvis classic Always on my Mind:

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me that your sweet cerebrospinal fluid hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance to keep you 'lectrified (ECT)

Little things I should have said and done (eye contact, non-verbal communication)
I just never took the tablets

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

[Justinian]

They're coming to take me away ha ha he he ha ha ho ho is an obvious one so I'll skip that.

I just watched and listened to that on YouChewb and I quite like his music even if I do have reservations about his lifestyle choices, dress sense, diva-ness, and his rose-tinted spectacles.

White Lies - Death - this song is about fear of flying. "Yes this fear's got a hold on me"

The National - Afraid of Everyone - it's a sad song but I can relate to it sometimes. "I don't have the drugs to sort it out"

Pulp - The Fear

"And when you're no longer searching for beauty or love
Just some kind of life with the edges taken off
When you can't even define what it is that you are frightened of
This song will be here"

Editors - Well Worn Hand - this is a song about fear of dying, it's very sad.

Take my well worn hand
Let's lock ourselves away
We'll never, ever step outside
We'll curl up in a ball and hide

I don't want to go out on my own anymore
I can't face the night like I used to before
I don't want to go out on my own anymore
I can't face the night like I used to before

Radiohead - No Surprises seems to be about a general feeling of unhappiness but for me the line "No alarms and no surprises please" makes me think of generalised anxiety because I am very jumpy and hate things that are unpredictable.

Frightened Rabbit - The Woodpile is about social anxiety. The band's name is about the lead singer's social anxiety too.

Bereft of all social charms
Struck dumb by the hand of fear
I fall into the corner's arms
The same way that I've done for years

I've got playlists about anxiety, depression and medication. Is that weird?

[Justinian]

I love Pulp.

Common People is good.

It would be great if that was the music played whenever the House of Commons was in session as or at the beginning of PMQs just to get the House pumped up and ready.

The Fear - Lily Allen
A lot of things by Supertramp!

[almamatters]

Manic Depression - Jimi Hendrix

Suspicion. Elvis
Suspicion torments my heart
Suspicion keeps us apart
Suspicion why torture me???
