How success affected mental health of Lewis Capaldi


Lewis Capaldi, the Scottish singer-songwriter known for his comedic personality, reveals a more vulnerable side in his recent Netflix documentary, "How I'm Feeling Now". Despite initially feeling that he didn't have a story to tell, Capaldi agreed to be filmed because he thought it would be a triumphant experience, only to find himself struggling with anxiety and imposter syndrome while trying to create a successful second album during lockdown.


Capaldi's openness about his Tourette's diagnosis and the physical manifestations of his anxiety in the documentary was a difficult decision, but he chose complete candor to avoid misunderstandings. He hopes that by sharing his struggles, he can reach someone else who is going through a tough time. Capaldi admits that he is still battling with imposter syndrome, despite the success of his consecutive number one hits in the UK, but he has learned to process his emotions better and understands that doubt is a human experience.



Capaldi is proud of his second album, "Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent," which he wrote during lockdown. He acknowledges the creative upside of lockdown, which gave him the time and space to work on his music without the pressure of touring. Despite his confidence in his musical work, Capaldi is uncertain about how to handle reviews of his documentary, which he feels is a more personal look at his life.
