Honey Singh Shares Experience Battling Bipolar Disorder and Effects of Treatment

Analysed 27 May 2026·14 sources analysed·Mumbai, India·Entertainment
Honey Singh Shares Experience Battling Bipolar Disorder and Effects of TreatmentPreviousNext

Yo Yo Honey Singh has openly discussed his seven-year battle with bipolar disorder and substance abuse, which began during a busy phase involving a music reality show and a US tour with Shah Rukh Khan. He experienced paranoia, fear of death, and isolation, leading him to shave half his head to avoid performing. Heavy medication caused significant weight gain and complete hair loss, prompting him to wear a wig. Despite these challenges, a change in treatment helped his recovery, and he now feels better while continuing his music career.
