Selena Gomez made a shocking revelation on the state of her mental health during a conversation with Miley Cyrus.
Gomez disclosed that she recently got diagnosed of bipolar disorder during a Live series with Miley Cyrus on Instagram.
27-year-old Gomez opened up for the first time while on a session with Miley Cyrus during her Bright Minded Instagram Live series on Friday.
She spoke about making a donation to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where she had a kidney transplant done in the West Los Angeles. She also remained at their mental health center the following year. Gomez recalled a recent journey she made to McClean Psychiatric Hospital outside of Boston.
In her words, she said;
“Recently, I went to one of the best mental hospitals in… America, McClean Hospital, and I discussed that after years of going through a lot of different things, I realized that I was bipolar,” Gomez told Cyrus. “And so when I got to know more information, it actually helps me. It doesn’t scare me once I know it.”
She added;
“I think people get scared of that, right? They’re like, ‘Oh!’ And I’ve seen it, I’ve seen some of it even in my own family, where I’m like, ‘What’s going on?’ I’m from Texas, it’s just not known to talk about mental health. You got to seem cool. And then I see anger built up in children and teenagers or whatever young adults because they are wanting that so badly. I just feel like when I finally said what I was going to say, I wanted to know everything about it. And it took the fear away.”
