She delve­d into her journey of understanding the­ warning signs of panic attacks and explained, “I have really bad anxiety, I think anyone in my industry has anxiety to be honest".

"It is, I think now really cool that it's become a conversation and there's days that are better than other days, just like anxiety is, just like having panic attacks," she continued.

Admitting that panic attacks felt ‘foreign’ at first, Rita shared, “I've really learnt now to recognise when it's coming” and mentioned acupuncture technique to cope with its symptoms, “I just breathe and I just lie there for about 20 minutes.”

The I’ll Be There singer attributes her recovery to various methods including infrared saunas, cold plunges and Chinese medicine as she asserted, “I try and incorporate a lot of different methods, I'm not just a one-person thing”

Notable to mention, Rita Ora had previously talked to Cosmopolitan and admitted to seeing a therapist every week. The British singer also shared insight into mental health through her 2023 album You and I, with discreet lyrics about losing parts of herself and going through therapy.
