Simon Cowell discusses coronavirus and mental health<\/h3>\n

Simon Cowell revealed the Phillip Schofield scandal earlier this year completely passed him by when he\u00a0ditched his phone and stopped reading the news after undergoing therapy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Britain\u2019s Got Talent judge, 63, has spoken out after battling mental health struggles for years, notably following surgery on his back in 2020.<\/p>\n

However, speaking on the Mirror\u2019s Men in Mind podcast, Simon said the Covid pandemic worsened his symptoms\u00a0as he stressed over\u00a0how he could protect his fianc\u00e9 Lauren, 46, and nine-year-old son, Eric.<\/p>\n

As a result, Simon knew he had to make a change and decided to stop reading the media and get rid of his phone.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Therefore, despite working on ITV for more than 20 years, Simon was left unaware when This Morning presenter Phillip Schofield resigned from the broadcaster after admitting to an affair with a younger male colleague.<\/p>\n

Speaking on The Mirror\u2019s podcast, which is in association with mental health charity Mind, the former X Factor judge said he was encouraged by his friends to try therapy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite his\u00a0apprehension, Simon\u00a0made an appointment.\u00a0He explained: \u201cI sat down, really embarrassed and I said, \u2018Look, I just don\u2019t know where to start\u2019.\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cBut within about 20 minutes it was as if\u00a0I\u2019d\u00a0known him for 10, 20 years. He put me so much at ease. And you realise\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0talking to a professional and they\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0judge you, they listen to you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The media mogul hopes by going public men will realise there\u2019s \u201cnothing to be fearful of\u201d and no one will \u201cjudge you differently\u201d if you need someone to talk to.<\/p>\n

In the past, Cowell has described being prone to struggling with low moods.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Oprah Winfrey in 2010, he said: “When I’m like that I kind of feel like going into some slight hibernation.\u00a0I’m\u00a0very dark when\u00a0I’m\u00a0in those moments… I get very, very down.\u00a0Don’t\u00a0come near me. (I’m) like a bear in a cage.”<\/p>\n

Last year, following back surgery after an e-scooter accident, Simon told The Sun: “I was very, very, very, low.<\/p>\n
