Lady Gaga talks about dealing with suicidal thoughts and bringing mental health into the light at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation Awards
Lady Gaga spoke about how her Born This Way Foundation, promotes mental wellness and gave her hope. She concluded her acceptance speech by saying, 'Let's change the f--king world.'
During her acceptance speech for the Artists Inspiration Award at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation's Patron of the Artists Awards Thursday night, Lady Gaga chose the platform to talk about her 'own mental health crisis'. "I began to notice that I would stare off into space and blackout for seconds or minutes," Gaga said. "I would see flashes of things I was tormented by, experiences that were filed away in my brain with 'I'll deal with you later' for many years because my brain was protecting me, as science teaches us. These were also symptoms of disassociation and PTSD and I did not have a team that included mental health support."
