Noah Kahan on Exploring Mental Health Issues With ‘Out of Body’ Netflix Doc: ‘If One Person Watches This and Confronts Something Within Themselves, It’s Worth the Discomfort’

Kahan and director Nick Sweeney discuss the doc's revelations as the singer's 'The Great Divide' album is about to arrive.

It’s “speak-up season” in “Noah Kahan: Out of Body,” the new Netflix documentary from director Nick Sweeney about the celebrated musician. Kahan has been frank about the ups and downs in his emotional life, which was part of the essential appeal of “Stick Season,” one of the most unexpected and wildly successful breakout albums of the 2010s. But for Kahan there was still the slightest of removes in presenting those feelings to an audience through the filter of songwriting, as opposed to appearing completely unfiltered over a period of months of filming in which some old mental health concerns and some brand new anxietiess rose to the fore along with his growing public profile.
