In her eagerly awaited appearance on The Interview podcast hosted by The New York Times, Lady Gaga discusses her much-anticipated return to the music scene with her latest album, Mayhem.

Lady Gaga shares about her psychosis before new album

Gaga disclosed on the podcast, “Five years ago, I experienced psychosis. For a significant period, I was not fully connected to reality. This condition profoundly affected my life, and after many years of dedicated effort, I managed to regain my sense of self.” She mentioned that she met her long-term partner, Michael Polansky, whom she is currently engaged to, during the early stages of her recovery, although she was still not at her best.

The singer reflected, “It was a challenging period, yet meeting my partner was truly special. When I encountered Michael, I was in a considerably improved state, but I recall him telling me early on, ‘I know you could be much happier than you are.’” She added, “Hearing him say that was difficult for me because I didn’t want him to perceive me that way. I wished for him to see me as a happy, completely composed individual,” as reported by Elle.

Lady Gaga finds it difficult to talk about her mental health

The singer known for her work in the realm of poker revealed that she still struggles to openly discuss her mental health and associated challenges in public, where such topics often remain stigmatized. During a podcast appearance, she shared, “I have found it increasingly difficult to address this issue. I dislike being defined by it. It felt like something I was ashamed of. However, I believe we should not feel ashamed for experiencing such moments. My primary message is that improvement is possible. It happened for me, and I am thankful for that.”

Furthermore, Gaga noted that despite her past difficulties, she is currently in a better place than ever, and having Polanksy in her life has been a significant positive influence. She remarked, “From the very first moment I met Michael, he exhibited the warmest and kindest nature of anyone I have encountered in my entire life.”
