Lewis’ fans broke down in tears on Wednesday as he candidly discussed how his mental health struggles almost ended his career.
In his emotional doc, the musician, speaks of how the pressure following the success of his first album, Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent, triggered ‘frightful’ panic attacks.
Lewis, who was diagnosed with Tourette’s after doctors picked up on his uncontrollable shoulder twitch, also discussed being a Hypochondriac.
Hypochondria causes suffers to feel extreme anxiety about their health, including worrying that are or may become seriously ill.
The Scottish singer said: ‘I’ve always been a hypochondriac. I’ve been obsessed like, if something is wrong with me, I’m like, ‘F**k, I’m dying’.
‘I went to a therapist and she was like, “Do you not think that’s got something to do with the fact that your grandmother and your aunt both died when you were like three and four, within a year.”
Lewis described how his anxiety manifested itself in a shoulder twitch which would become so severe when he was songwriting, he had to put his second album on hold.
After his Someone You Love was a smash hit, Lewis was filled with self doubt if he could ever recreate the magic when he was writing back in lockdown .
He says: ‘I’m not confident in my abilities as a songwriter and I think that’s got worse the more successful I’ve got.
‘The twitch that I have gets worse when I sit down to play the piano. Physically painful. And I get really short of breath and it’s like my back kills me when I go to do it. Which is quite frightful.’
Lewis’s anxiety spiraled and he began to suffer terrible panic attacks as he struggled to deal with magnitude of his success.

He tells the documentary makers: ‘I’m completely disconnected from reality. I can’t breathe, I can’t feel breath going in. I get dizzy, I feel like something’s happening in my head and I’m sweating.
‘My whole body starts to do what my shoulder does and I’m convulsing. Either I feel like I’m going to be stuck like that forever or I’m going to die.
‘For me it’s a like a completely normal reaction to this. If you are put in this situation, you are going to have something like this, especially if you are already an anxious person, which I guess I was.
‘I didn’t ever have the pressure that came to make me full blown but we are there now so we just need to deal with it.’
