The “Abracadabra” star was using lithium to treat the mania associated with her bipolar disorder. Lithium use reduces the frequency and severity of her manic episodes.

After filming, the singer began the Joanne World Tour, which took place between August 2017 and February 2018. During that period, she reported experiencing a mental health episode.

“One day my sister said to me, ‘I don’t see my sister anymore.’ And I canceled the tour,” said the “Bad Romance” star. “One day I went to the hospital to receive psychiatric care,” she said.

“I needed a break. I couldn’t do anything… I just collapsed. It was really scary. There was a moment when I thought I wouldn’t get better,” she revealed.

Gaga says she received the psychological help she needed and was feeling better. Around the same time, “A Star Is Born” received eight Oscar nominations in 2019. The singer also won the award for Best Original Song for “Shallow”.
