Lady Gaga Reveals She Suffers From PTSD: Watch

One of the most endearing qualities about Lady Gaga is her bravery when it comes to sharing personal elements of her life, no matter how big of a pop star she continues to become. The artist's latest reveal is that she struggles with PTSD, which she shared during a recent visit at Ali Forney Center, a New York City homeless shelter for LGBT youth.

Gaga came bearing gifts, hugs and smiles during her time at the shelter, which was part of the Today show and NBC Universal’s #ShareKindness campaign. "I told the kids today that I suffer from a mental illness. I suffer from PTSD. I've never told anyone that before, so here we are," she said in the segment. "But the kindness that's been shown to me by doctors—as well as my family and my friends—it's really saved my life."
