n
a
recent
interview
the
celebrated
singer-songwriter
and
actress
Lady
GaGa
reveals
that,
she
has
mental
illness
and
suffers
from
PTSD.
While
in
a
visit
to
the
'Ali
Forney
Center
for
homeless
LGBT
youth',
the
songstress
opened
up
regarding
her
illness
for
the
first
time.
"I
don't
have
the
same
kinds
of
issues
that
you
have,
but
I
have
a
mental
illness,
and
I
struggle
with
that
mental
illness
every
day.
So,
I
need
my
mantra
to
help
keep
me
relaxed." Said
Lady
GaGa.
She
explained
saying,
"I
told
the
kids
today
I
suffer
from
a
mental
illness
-
I
suffer
from
PTSD.
I've
never
told
anyone
that
before,
so
here
we
are."
The
pop
star
also
added
that
she
is
trying
her
best
to
get
rid
of
this
illness
and
she
has
been
able
to
heal
fast
because
of
the
love
and
kindness
she
has
received
in
her
life.
"But
the
kindness
that's
been
shown
to
me
by
doctors
-
as
well
as
my
family
and
my
friends
-
it's
really
saved
my
life.
I've
been
searching
for
ways
to
heal
myself,
and
I've
found
that
kindness
is
the
best
way." she
stated.
"One
way
to
help
people
that
have
trauma
is
to
inject
them
with
as
many
positive
thoughts
as
possible.
It's
really
important
to
remind
kids
that
our
suffering
from
a
traumatic
experience
or
abandonment,
to
remind
them
that
they're
not
alone,
and
that
they're
loved."
GaGa
added.
