Of course, Morgan scrambled to accept.

While it will no doubt be an emotional, difficult and possibly triggering conversation for Gaga, potentially full of inflammatory and insensitive questions, the star is determined to “raise awareness”, having said in her open letter: “Traditionally, many associate PTSD as a condition faced by brave men and women that serve countries all over the world.

“While this is true, I seek to raise awareness that this mental illness affects all kinds of people, including our youth. I pledge not only to help our youth not feel ashamed of their own conditions, but also to lend support to those servicemen and women who suffer from PTSD. No one’s invisible pain should go unnoticed.”

Bravo, Gaga.
