The new mother, who welcomed her daughter Dove with fiancé Orlando Bloom four months ago, has been open about her mental health and her battle with depression in the past.

Speaking to The Guardian, she says: ‘Nothing, no opportunity, no one can inspire me to get out of bed. My depression appears in lethargy, lack of interest. Like now, I just don’t care. A-ny-ding. And look nothing. ‘

Katy revealed that she spent a week at the Hoffman Institute, which is considered an effective treatment for depression, anger and anxiety, and compares her negative behavior she wanted to address as a ‘Mary Poppins bag’.
The star also refers to the moment in her 2012 documentary Katy Perry: Part of Me where she shed tears before performing on stage after the end of her marriage to Russell Brand.
Katy added that she has now learned to ‘compartmentalize’ and that you should put away your ‘personal life for two hours’ while performing, joking that she is providing a ‘Disneyland service’.

She said: ‘I learned how to compartmentalize and how to be an artist. You put your personal life away for two hours and realize that people pay with their time and money to come see the clown to escape their own possessions. ‘
Katy also addressed the former setback after being accused of ‘cultural appropriation’ several times throughout her career.
The star came under fire in 2013 after dressing up as a Geisha for the American Music Awards and being heavily criticized in the same year for wearing corn in her hair for the This is How We Do video.

Katy, who has been in therapy since the age of 25, told the newspaper that it was due to a ‘youthful lack of education’ and that she was now more developed than a human being.
She said: ‘But there is certainly not much empathy or compassion towards people who sometimes grow in the spotlight – or try to grow -. Because growth also means to fail. And I fell very flat on my face. ‘
Previously, she revealed that she once feared that she ‘would not see 2018’ after hitting the bottom amid her heavy battle with depression.

She told the Sunday Times: ‘I have become very clinically depressed. I could always discuss the matter. I was doing something my psychologist recommended at the time. It changes the chemistry of your mind. Sometimes people need a pharmaceutical crutch.
‘You’re never going to change anyone as much as you want to change it. I had to make the choice [to change myself] after hitting the bottom. I had no choice but to go on this emotional, mental, psychological journey, otherwise I probably would not have seen 2018 … I tried medication and it was really intense, ‘Perry recalls.
