Germanotta made sure to note attention to mental health was not the same back then as it is today, saying, "I felt where I made mistakes was I didn't really know the warning signs to look for."as a way to empower young people and help those experiencing mental and emotional distress.

"I told the kids today, 'I suffer from PTSD.' I've never told anyone that before, so here we are," she said at the time. "But the kindness that's shown to me by doctors as well as my family and my friends, it's really saved my life." "No one else knew. It was almost like I tried to erase it from my brain. And when it finally came out, it was like a big, ugly monster. And you have to face the monster to heal," she told. "For me, with my mental health issues, half of the battle in the beginning was, I felt like I was lying to the world because I was feeling so much pain but nobody knew. So that's why I came out and said that I have PTSD, because I don't want to hide -- any more than I already have to.
