    Welcome to Episode 3 of Crazy Brain. During this episode, I discuss Robert Schumann, a composer during the Romantic period. Schumann dealt with many physical components of being a composer and musician that began to affect his mental health. While it is debated whether Schumann actually suffered from any mental health issues, there is evidence to support that his life during this time period took a toll on his ability to function. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/katie-edwards91/support
