The 30-year-old's 2003 debut Friday's Child hit number one in the UK and won the star a string of honours, including a Brit Award for single 'Your Game'. Young said that he threw himself into 2005 follow-up Keep On, but struggled to cope with his celebrity status.
He told the Daily Express: "I was unhappy and I almost stopped. I hadn't got a grip on it - so much had changed and the business had taken over from the pleasure of singing and creating. I was a recluse.
"I was terrified - everywhere I went I got recognised. I controlled everything in my life and stayed at home. I was obsessed with work. Work was great but I wasn't enjoying it so when I was winning Brits or selling out tours I never really enjoyed it that much."
Young subsequently took a break and sought therapy before returning last year with critically-acclaimed LP Let It Go.
He added: "I had a break and had therapy. I still have therapy. I'd advocate therapy to anyone. I feel fantastic now and enjoy everything I do. Looking back on things, it was all so quick and busy and I couldn't enjoy it, but now I can. I never have a bad day's work. I love my job."
