Zayn Malik opens for the very first time about the struggle he encountered after leaving the British boy band “One Direction”.

In this new interview with “Style” magazine, Zayn bares it all.

He reveals that he had serious mental problems while he was part of ‘One Direction’, he had a serious case of anxiety and an eating disorder.

The singer says that she was surprised to found out that people expect only women to suffer from such problems. People expect men to be masculine and never show their emotions, so he had to suffer a lot from this. He didn’t feel comfortable talking about his issues.

Zayn revealed a while ago that he would go days without eating anything. In this interview, he reveals that this was caused by the control that was exerted over his life.

During the time he played in the band, his entire life was controlled, even the way he looked. This affected his confidence a lot. The anxiety he developed followed him even after he quit the band.

After he launched his solo career, Zayn could not enjoy it properly as the anxiety gave him a really hard time. He canceled several performances and even his tour because of this.

Now, Zayn is in a much better place, he is ready to return to music and meet his fans. He has a new album coming up right this year. He has learned how to control his anxiety and how to be more confident and left his eating disorder behind.
