Look at Ariana Grande and ‘Thank u, next’. “We’ve been taking massive steps forward recently. “Songs like ‘Sweet But Psycho’ just pull back on the advances artists are making,” Smyth explains. She has been involved with youth mental health charity Reach Out and writes regularly for HeadStuff on social issues surrounding mental illness and stigma. As well as this, Courtney is a mental health advocate with a BSc in Psychology. I spoke to Courtney Smyth, who has years of experience with mental health systems in Ireland.
