Chappell, who goes to therapy twice a week to cope with her new celebrity status, admits her diagnosis came as a shock because she doesn’t really feel “sad.”
She told the Guardian: ‘I go to therapy twice a week. I went to a psychiatrist last week because I thought, I don’t know what’s going on.
‘She diagnosed me with major depression – which I didn’t think I had, because I’m not really sad. But I have all the symptoms of someone who is severely depressed.’

She added: ‘I think it’s because my whole life has changed. Everything I really love to do now comes with baggage. If I want to go thrifting, I have to book security and prepare myself that it’s not going to be normal.
‘Going to the park, pilates, yoga – how do I do that safely, without being stalked or harassed?’
This came after Chappell compared fame to “an abusive ex-husband.”
In an interview with The Face magazine, she explained: ‘I think fame is just insulting. The atmosphere of it – stalking, talking s*** online, [people who] doesn’t leave you alone, yells at you in public – that’s the atmosphere of an abusive ex-husband.
“That’s what it feels like. I didn’t know it would feel this bad.”
However, Chappell admitted that she still enjoys the positive feedback from her fans: “Everyone goes, ‘Oh yeah, she’s really intense,’ and that’s totally fine.”
“But I don’t get that much, ‘Oh my God, you have such a good vibe.’ I think that just goes back to my childhood, from [wanting] people believe that I am a good person and I believe that too. So it means a lot when I hear that.
“I can’t read my DMs anymore because I cry so much. But when people say, ‘Whatever you’re doing, it’s helped me,’ I don’t think there’s an award or money or anything for that compliment.
‘I don’t care about anything else, except giving people the space to be free. Because that’s what I needed so badly: freedom.’
Her latest interview came after she caused a stir on the VMAs red carpet last week when she confronted a photographer who yelled “shut the f*** up” as she turned around to adjust her outfit.

Roan has spoken out openly about the pitfalls of fame, publicly rejecting the idea that she should have to accept unwanted attention amid her growing popularity.
“I don’t care that abuse, harassment, stalking, whatever, is normal for people who are famous, or a little bit famous, whatever,” Roan said in her TikTok clip.
“I don’t care if it’s normal. I don’t care if this kind of crazy behavior is part of the job, part of the career field that I’ve chosen.
“That doesn’t make it okay, that doesn’t make it normal. That doesn’t mean I want it, that doesn’t mean I like it.”
