Haakon Rist SAE Institute Dubai mental health music project

SAE Institute Dubai, 2021

The song 'Save Me' is about depression. It is taken from the self-titled EP by the band PHNX.

The EP's three songs are about three different mental health conditions: depression, anxiety and psychosis.

The musical compositions were guided by- and approved by persons who have suffered from the mental health conditions.

The aim of the EP and its songs is to spread awareness of- and help remove stigma around mental health issues by engaging with the subject matter in a creative and respectful manner.
