LeAnn Rimes is opening up about her mental health, revealing that she had  “some pretty heavy depression” during the pandemic.

“[I had] some pretty heavy depression, but I’ve now come out of it,” she shared on the “Verywell Mind Podcast with Editor-in-Chief Amy Morin, LCSW.” “And the upside of that, which has been good. [It helps to get] a different perspective, because sometimes we can be in our own world and not be able to step out of it. So, I’ve always found that therapy definitely helps with that.”

She adds, “It’s not about an end game. It’s like, this is the human journey.”

• LeAnn has since returned to the stage but admits she was “triggered” during her first post-pandemic show. “I don’t think I’ve ever been off the road for 16 months like this at one point for a solid period of time,” Rimes noted. “I went back out to do my first show recently in front of thousands of people. I was so triggered.”

• She says the experience was “quite shocking,” and she felt like “nothing happened” over the past 16 months, but now realizes that was a bit “unhealthy.” She adds, “I’m like, this is not the normal experience that I’m supposed to be having,” noting, “And I’ve been having this heightened, energetic experience for my whole life.”
