Lady Gaga, born Stefani Germanotta, recalled a period of severe instability that forced her to cancel her Mayhem Ball world tour. Panic attacks became overwhelming, prompting her to seek professional help and step back from her busy schedule. “There was one day that my sister said to me, ‘I don’t see my sister anymore,’ and I canceled the tour,” Gaga said, highlighting the personal impact of her struggles.
Hospitalization and therapy
Gaga revealed that at one point, she feared she might not recover. “I went to the hospital for psychiatric care. I needed to take a break. I couldn’t do anything… I completely crashed. It was really scary,” she admitted. She stressed that therapy and the emotional support of her fiancé played a crucial role in helping her regain stability and manage her mental health.

Reflecting on her career milestones, Lady Gaga revealed that she even took lithium while filming her Oscar-nominated movie A Star Is Born. She described the challenge of performing while managing panic attacks. “I see all the fans and I’m in this big dress, and the music is so loud and it’s very dramatic… for 90 seconds, I have to talk myself out of a panic attack,” Gaga said.
Her openness about these struggles underscores the importance of mental health awareness, even for global superstars. Lady Gaga emphasized that professional help, therapy, and personal support systems can be critical in navigating mental health challenges while maintaining a demanding career.
