The American superstar composed her letter along with Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General for the World Health Organisation, in which they call on "governments and industry to put mental health at the top of their agendas".
Gaga pays homage to Anthony Bourdain and Kate Spade, who both took their own lives, by writing: "They are all sons or daughters, friends or colleagues, valued members of families and communities.
"Suicide is the most extreme and visible symptom of the larger mental health emergency we are so far failing to adequately address," the letter reads.
"Stigma, fear and lack of understanding compound the suffering of those affected and prevent the bold action that is so desperately needed and so long overdue."
The open letter also lists shocking statistics about the effects of mental illness, but the singer explains there is still hope because "there is a fourfold return on investment for every dollar spent on treating depression and anxiety".
