No one is exempted in experiencing problems day in and day out. And, Lady Gaga did not think twice in showing her support for the voiceless along with those in need as she revealed one of her deepest and darkest secrets to the world.
The "A-yo" singer Lady Gaga is known for her perplexing costumes and great hits. But, behind those remarkable songs and music videos is a woman fighting against depression.
More than a year ago, Lady Gaga revealed she was raped when she was 19 years old. She was hesitant to share it at first because she did not want her bitter past to define her. But now, she has been very outspoken about it.
In an interview on NBC's "Today " show, the Mother Monster revealed that she is suffering from Post-traumatic stress disorder.
As a part of the show's segment, the 30-year-old singer Lady Gaga visited Ali Forney Center in New York City, a shelter for homeless LGBTQ youth. In there, she spoke to the teenagers who are battling mental trauma, Huffington Post reports.
Lady Gaga opened up that, like them, she is also suffering from a mental illness. She added, "I've never told anyone that before." She also explained that the kindness her family, friends as well as her doctors have shown to her rescued her life.
Lady Gaga also discussed how she uses meditation to be able to relax and calm down. She also shared her realization that kindness is the "best way" to heal herself from her experience.
In other news, some celebrities are also suffering from mental health issues. Like Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez recently announced that she will take some time off for herself to have her mental health checked and cancelled her world tour. Zayn Malik took a break as well due to anxiety.
