"I've suffered through depression and anxiety my entire life, I still suffer with it every single day," she said.

That's not human."
In the same interview, Gaga credits another megawatt performer for keeping her in a healthy state of mind.
"[Elton John] looks out for me, he was there for me during the hardest times in my life. He doesn't allow me to slip into depression without making sure that I'm OK…He's just everything—when I'm with him, I just want to help be a part of his genius plan to save the world."
According to Billboard, a forthcoming collaboration between Born This Way and the Elton John AIDS Foundation which will be announced soon.
