In April 2023, Lewis Capaldi gave an interview to Variety, discussing his Tourette's syndrome and mental health issues, which were showcased in his Netflix documentary, Lewis Capaldi: How I'm Feeling Now.

Capaldi revealed his Tourette's syndrome diagnosis in September 2022 in an Instagram livestream. The singer told the media outlet that it was "terrifying" to share his struggles in the documentary.

"It was terrifying to share it. Even though I'm open and forthcoming online, it's usually through quite a jovial lens," the singer stated.

Capaldi also stated that he openly started talking about his Tourette's syndrome because he didn't want people to assume he was on drugs.

"I have this thing, and I'd rather just tell people what it is than them being like, 'Oh, is he on drugs?' I hate all that unnecessary worry," he said.
