Pink has never shied away from speaking her truth and shes advocating for others to do the same especially when it comes to mental health.

The 39-year-old Just Like Fire singer discussed her journey with anxiety in an interview with Carson Daly on Fridays Today show, when the topic of suicide came up.

Im hopeful that the taboo of it is all going away, she said of suicide. Because more and more people are talking about it. I think talking about it is the most important thing. And I know that anxiety is, like, the No. 1 thing that kids now are going through.

The Grammy winner says she hopes younger generations realize that its OK to talk about their mental health, and encourages them to do so.

For my generation, I feel like it was depression and suicide. And suicide is super prevalent still, but now its like it comes from a place of anxiety, she says. And I get that. I fully understand that, and Ive been depressed, I have anxiety, I overthink everything.

Pink then offered some advice based on her personal experiences.

What I do is I keep the right people around me. And I go to therapy, she said. Pink then used her relationship with her husband, Carey Hart, 43, as an example.

Carey and I have been in couples counseling almost our entire 17 years that weve been together, she explained. Its the only reason were still together.

The couple who share daughter Willow, 7, and son Jameson, 2 married in 2006 and have both been pretty vocal about their rocky romance. Pink sang about one of their splits in her 2008 hit So What , while Hart referenced their issues in an Instagram post to celebrate their 13th anniversary, in which he said, Who would have thought two misfits like us could pull it off!!!
