Britney Spears And Musicians Who Struggled With Substance Addiction And Mental Health Issues

Mar 30 2021
Categories:Health and Wellness

We're all human and we all have our struggles. These struggles may lead some of us towards finding ourselves addicted to substances, struggling with mental health issues, or both. This is no different for musicians. Substance addiction and mental disorders affect all races, genders and socioeconomic backgrounds – even if you are a famous star. In the addiction recovery industry, suffering with both conditions at the same time is referred to as having a Co-Occurring Disorder.

It may be hard to imagine that a person who is so famous and admired could have an addiction or mental health problem. But it's true, many pop stars struggle with these issues. The pressures of being a celebrity as well as the high-stress lifestyle can take a toll on even the strongest individuals. In this blog post, we will talk about musicians who struggled with addiction and their mental health.

Britney Spears

Britney Spears is one of the best-known examples of a famous artist who has battled both addiction and mental illness. Britney started her career at a very young age. As she grew up in the public eye, her struggles both with substance abuse have always been reported by the media. Her public breakdown back in 2007 led the court to appoint her father as a co-conservator, which means that she could not make decisions on her own without the guidance of her conservators.

Britney has always been open about her mental health issues. In interviews, she talked about her anxiety and being under a lot of stress. Spears reportedly checked herself into a wellness facility in 2019 to focus on her mental health.

Lady Gaga

Lady GagaThe famous singer-actress openly talked about her problems with cocaine, and marijuana. According to Lady Gaga, she used these drugs as a way to cope with the pressures of fame. She also confessed that she was diagnosed with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and fibromyalgia. In an Oprah interview, Lady Gaga said that she was taking medications and treatment for her conditions and she recognized that not everyone has access to these types of treatment.

Lady Gaga set up a foundation called Born This Way Foundation to help teens suffering from mental health issues, substance abuse, and eating disorders. Recently, the foundation launched a suicide prevention resource to help young people struggling with mental health issues during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Kanye West

Kanye WestKanye West is another brilliant musician and entrepreneur who was open about his battles with alcoholism, opioid addiction, and mental illness. In different interviews, Kanye recounted how he would drink orange juice and vodka in the morning. The musician said that he would use alcohol to cope with the disappointment of not being nominated for awards. He also talked about how he became addicted to opioids after he went through a liposuction procedure. In 2016, Kanye was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder is a mental disorder that is characterized by an extreme shift in mood, activity, and energy.

Kim Kardashian, Kanye’s wife who recently filed for divorce, said in an earlier statement that her husband’s mental health issues are very complex and painful. She asked the public to show empathy and compassion to Kanye after he posted a series of bizarre posts on social media.

John Mayer

John MayerMany people know Grammy-award winning artist John Mayer for his amazing songs as well as his equally famous ex-girlfriends including Taylor Swift, Jennifer Aniston, and Katy Perry. But not many people are aware that Mayer struggled with alcoholism and his mental health.

John Mayer battled with anxiety disorder while growing up. He said he would get anxiety and panic attacks for most of his life. When he became a celebrity, the singer also talked about how he had problems with alcohol. He said that after quitting alcohol, he became more productive.

Adele

AdeleIn a Vanity Fair interview, Adele talked about how she struggled with alcoholism and mental health issues. According to the singer, she used to love being drunk but ever since she became a mom, she is not as carefree as she was. She confessed that she might never write songs as good as the ones she wrote when she was a massive drinker but she said that she doesn’t have the time to fall apart like she did back then when she was younger. Adele, however, said that she was too scared to take drugs because when she was younger, she knew someone who died of heroin overdose.

Adele also confessed to suffering from postpartum depression and having feelings of inadequacy. She admitted that after she had her son, her depression became really bad that it frightened her. She was too scared, however, to seek medical help and didn’t talk to anyone about it.

If you or a loved one is suffering from substance abuse or mental health issues, help is available.

    Compliance status

    We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

    To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

    This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

    Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

    If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email

    Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

    Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

    1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

      These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

    2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.

      Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Disability profiles supported in our website

    • Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
    • Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
    • Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
    • ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
    • Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
    • Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

    1. Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
    2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
    3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
    4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
    5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
    6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
    7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

    Browser and assistive technology compatibility

    We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.

    Notes, comments, and feedback

    Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
