Katie Melua Reflects on Psychotic Breakdown

Katie Melua has opened up about her acute psychotic breakdown in 2010, which she attributes to the intense pressures of the music industry and constant touring. The incident led her to be hospitalized for six weeks, during which she feared she would never be able to make music again. However, she made a successful comeback with her fifth album in 2012 and recently released her ninth studio album, 'Love & Money', in 2023. Melua now emphasizes the importance of recognizing warning signs and prioritizing self-care, stating her desire to continue making music 'until I die'. The birth of her son in 2022 has also provided her with focus and motivation. Through her experience, she aims to encourage others facing similar struggles and advocates for the need to address mental health issues within the entertainment industry.
