Pop sensation Chappell Roan opens up about battle with depression.
Renowned singer Chappell Roan has revealed her struggle with severe depression, stating a diagnosis of the condition by her psychiatrist recently.
In an interview with The Guardian, the 26-year-old elaborated on facing symptoms like brain fog, forgetfulness, and lackluster outlook despite being not sad.
Roan attributed the mental health issues to the fast transition in her life from underground acclaim to global stardom within a year.
She expressed the challenges associated with regular activities given her new-found fame, requiring security measures against stalking or harassment.
Having publicly acknowledged difficulty adjusting to pressures earlier, Roan condemned aggressive behavior from some fans.
In a TikTok video, she voiced frustration against harassment in public or expectations to always be available. “That’s not normal, that’s weird,” the pop star commented on the notion of mistreatment being fine due to fame.
Roan maintained unhappiness stems not from fame itself but from mistreatment often accompanying it, comparing the “vibe” to that of an abusive ex-husband.
The singer’s career took off since her debut album ‘The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess’. She hopes sharing her story aids awareness of mental well-being.
