Lily Allen Discusses Mental Health Struggles and Disconnection Between Body and Mind

The singer revealed on her podcast that she has been grappling with eating issues and a challenging mental state for the past three years.

Lily Allen shared on her BBC podcast 'Miss Me?' that her eating habits have been severely impacted by mental health struggles, leading her to often forget to eat despite feeling hungry.
Allen explained that her brain and body feel disconnected, attributing the issue partially to her ADHD diagnosis in 2023, which affects her ability to link physical and mental cues.
The singer admitted she had not prioritized discussing her eating issues in therapy, despite them persisting for three years, as other concerns seemed more pressing at the time.
Allen has previously spoken publicly about her struggles with eating disorders, addiction, and the pressures of public scrutiny throughout her career.
Her candid discussion on the podcast sheds light on the complexities of mental health and the importance of addressing interconnected issues in therapy.
