Lady Gaga has called for more awareness of mental health following the death of Rick Genest; a model who starred in one of her music videos.
The model, who is well known as Zombie Boy, starred in Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way.'
Gaga took to twitter with a touching paragraph on mental health awareness.
The singer wrote, ''The suicide of friend Rick Genest, Zombie Boy is beyond devastating. We have to work harder to change the culture, bring Mental Health to the forefront and erase the stigma that we can’t talk about it. If you are suffering, call a friend or family today. We must save each other.''

Science tells us that it takes 21 days to form a habit, if you are suffering from Mental Health issue I beckon for today to be your first day or a continuation of the work you’ve been doing.
