Lady Gaga had a secret battle five years ago where she experienced psychosis.
During an interview with The New York Times podcast "The Interview", she shared, "I was not deeply in touch with reality for a while. It took me out of life in a big way, and after a lot of years of hard work I got myself back".
"I had to figure out a way to integrate myself fully with my stage persona and kind of inhabit Lady Gaga's boss energy in my everyday life but in an empowered way, and make sense of maybe two things that don’t make a ton of sense".
"I used to like more chaos, just living life on the edge constantly. I’m now proud to be much more boring."
Lady Gaga had trouble talking about her mental health before that, saying, "I hate feeling defined by it. It felt like something I was ashamed of. But I don’t think we should feel ashamed for going through times like that".
