Ariana Grande shares brain scan to highlight “hilarious and terrifying” effects of PTSD

Ariana Grande has shared her recent brain scan with fans, highlighting the stark realities of living with post-traumatic stress disorder.

The ‘7 Rings’ singer was diagnosed with PTSD following her 2017 concert at the Manchester Arena, which was tragically targeted in a terror attack, taking the lives of 22 people and injuring over a hundred more.

The record-breaking pop titan has now given fans a glimpse into the harsh realities of living with the condition, sharing a series of brain scan images on her Instagram stories to illustrate the “terrifying” effects of PTSD.

Posting a comparative set of images, one of a ‘healthy’ brain and one which suffered from the condition, Ariana captioned the post “Hilarious and terrifying”.

Following that post, Grande shared an image of a recent scan of her own brain, which clearly resembled the PTSD afflicted image before – she captioned that image, “Not a joke.”

Earlier this year, Grande advised fans to purchase clear bags ahead of her Sweetener world tour, in order to help gig-goers pass strict security checks which will be in place at each concert venue.
