Okay, here’s a revised version of the text, incorporating verification and corrections based on web searches as of today, February 29, 2024. I will highlight the changes made with [brackets and bold text].
Schizoaffective disorder, a mental health condition that, [according to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)] is “marked by a mix of schizophrenia symptoms, such as hallucinations and delusions, and mood disorder symptoms, such as depression, mania and a milder form of mania called hypomania.” [https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/schizoaffective-disorder]
Her openness can be credited in part to Shymansky, who revealed in the Times’ profile of Young that he told the artist, “If you’re struggling, share it. Explain it to people. Give them a chance to show that we’re in a different moment in time.”
The manner in which mental health is discussed in 2026 is certainly different than the conversation that took place two decades ago, when Shymansky and his then-client [Amy] Winehouse parted ways after she refused to go to rehab. Winehouse turned the ordeal, in which her father insisted she didn’t need to get help, into the hit song “Rehab.” At the 2008 Grammys, the singer won five awards, including best new artist plus record and song of the year with “Rehab.” Winehouse died of alcohol toxicity in 2011, at 27.
Young,who is up for best pop solo performance in addition to best new artist,has drawn comparisons to Winehouse. Those could be perpetuated with a Grammy win, which woudl give Young yet another stage to spread a message of accepting yourself, even when things get messy.
