“I’m in therapy twice a week”: Chappell Roan Discusses Mental Health Challenges
In an interview with The Guardian published on September 20, 2024, Chappell Roan candidly discussed her struggle with fame and mental health. The singer reflected on a concert in June where she expressed the overwhelming challenge of maintaining her new lifestyle, a clip from which went viral.
Addressing how she has been managing her rising fame, Chappell told The Guardian:
“I’m in therapy twice a week. I went to a psychiatrist last week because I was like, I don’t know what’s going on. She diagnosed me with severe depression – which I didn’t think I had because I’m not actually sad. But I have every symptom of someone who’s severely depressed.”
Chappell also shared that her experiences have transformed how she enjoys her passions, stating that every activity she loves now carries “baggage.”For instance, she mentioned the need to arrange security before going thrifting, fully aware that her experience would be anything but ordinary.
Furthermore, she raised concerns about how she could safely engage in simple activities like visiting a park or attending yoga classes without the risk of being stalked or harassed.
Chappell acknowledged that some fans do not want to hear her discuss her struggles, mistaking her feelings as complaints about her success. However, she clarified, emphasizing that her concerns are not about fame, but about the abuse that can accompany it.
