Lady Gaga has never shied away from sharing the truth about her personal health issues and what she has called her “mental health crisis.” The musical artist and “A Star is Born” actress, who suffers from fibromyalgia, opened up about it in 2019 while accepting an award from the SAG-AFTRA Foundation.
In her acceptance speech, she said the chronic pain she felt from the autoimmune disease was also accompanied by “panic attacks, acute trauma responses, and debilitating mental spirals that have included suicidal ideation and masochistic behavior.” She called mental health issues “a crisis of epic proportions” and advocated that the foundation implement a mental health program for actors.
