Lady Gaga & Prince William Team Up to Talk About Mental Health

With Mental Health Awareness Month coming up in May, Lady Gaga and Prince William teamed up to talk about mental health on Facebook Live. The royal FaceTimed the queen (of pop) to talk about the conscious efforts his family has been making to spread the word about mental health struggles.

Mental health is a topic both the royal family and Gaga have been open about. Prince Harry recently discussed how he went to the therapy to deal with the grief caused by his mother’s death. Lady Gaga has been battling PTSD since she was 19, and talking about mental health has become a large part of her platform.

In the video, Gaga and Prince William discuss ending the stigma that surrounds mental health disorders. “We have to make the strongest, most relentless attempt we can to normalize mental health issues so that people feel like they can come forward,” Gaga says. I’ll second that!
