Mental health experts believe Jewel’s agoraphobia and panic attacks have likely enhanced her lyrical content and enabled her to examine themes of resilience and vulnerability in her music.

The singer-songwriter disclosed to Us Weekly on Oct. 23 that she accidentally became a superstar after turning to music to cope with mental health issues.
