Katy Perry felt 'ashamed' of medicating her depression

Katy Perry was "ashamed" when she was prescribed medication to combat depression.

The 35-year-old singer has spoken openly about suffering a breakdown following the flop of her fifth album 'Witness' in 2017 and a break-up with now-fiance Orlando Bloom and she's admitted she was left unable to get out of bed for "weeks" as her mental health plummeted.

Katy was shocked when she realised she wasn't able to get through her difficult period with music, as she always had in the past.

But the 'Chained To The Rhythm' hitmaker says she's finally been able to "quiet" the negative voice in her head.
