Katy Perry has opened up about her experiences with depression as an artist, and what it felt like being prescribed medication for the first time.

Speaking with Apple Music's Zane Lowe, the singer recalled the relationship she used to have with her pain and her ability to create music, and how that relationship changed as she got older.“The older you get, the more real life gets and the harder it gets to hold onto the pain that helped you create.

No longer is that pain helping you create songs,” Perry said. “It's just tormenting your mind, at that point, especially in your 30s, when just life, things start to ache.

Your body starts to not function. Your metabolism goes south."'Lockdown is coming': GoT star James Cosmo records warning for.
