Lady Gaga: Mental Illness Was Already a World Health Crisis and the Virus Will Only Make It Worse

EXCERPT:

LADY GAGA: "Before this global pandemic, mental illness was already a world health crisis and this is only going to make it worse for everyone. But, yes, the people on the front-lines are being helped by the medical community. Like I said, it’s folding into itself to help itself on all fronts, and I commend not only those who are sleeping in their cars because they’re doctors and they don’t want to infect their families or their patients as well as nurses who are doing the same, but I also commend those psychiatrists. And I commend those nurse practitioners and those therapists that are leaving their numbers at hospitals and saying at the end of your shift, if you need to talk, I’m here for you. What I believe about dialectical behavior therapy is that, it provides a framework that you can look up online and it helps to problem solve. It helps teach you how to problem solve during times of crisis.”
