In a candid conversation on The Interview podcast by The New York Times, Lady Gaga discussed her battle with mental health, revealing that five years ago she experienced psychosis, which caused her to lose touch with reality.

Reflecting on this challenging period, the 38-year-old singer shared how it took a significant toll on her life but expressed gratitude for the hard work she put into regaining her well-being. "It took me out of life in a big way," Gaga said. "After a lot of years of hard work, I got myself back."

The singer also discussed the challenges of talking about her mental health publicly, admitting it’s something she finds increasingly difficult. “I hate feeling defined by it,” she explained. “But I don’t think that we should feel ashamed if we go through times like that. I mostly just wish to say, it can get better. It did for me, and I’m grateful for that.”
