Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta,34, known professionally as Lady Gaga, is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and businesswoman. She is known for reinventing herself throughout her career and for her versatility in numerous areas of the entertainment industry.
She made the revelations about her mental health during a chat with with Zane Lowe on Apple Music’s Beats 1 radio station today Tuesday August 11 where she opened about her mental health issues, which she said has been preventing her from taking absolute control over what her brain does.
According to her:
‘I wrote a song on Chromatica called 911, and it’s about an anti-psychotic that I take and it’s because I can’t always control things that my brain does and I have to take medication to stop the process that occurs.
”I know I have mental issues and I know that they can sometimes render me non-functional as a human.’
How can I use my humanity to focus on something that I believe to be infinitely more important than what I’ve been through? Which is what the medical community has done.
“It made me think about the helpers of the world and how their mental states are and how they don’t necessarily have the help that they need.
“When this is all over whatever that means and things get better whatever that means, who will be there to support them’
” I don’t lack self awareness and I do understand I’m not the only human on the planet that suffers and I think I have it pretty f****** good and I’m grateful for what I have.’
However, she said that she has found olanzapine- a drug used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar people, very helpful.
