selena gomez Selena Gomez reveals she's bipolar

[Jordan Miller]

Selena Gomez appeared on Miley Cyrus' Instagram show Bright Minded.

In her chat with Miley, Selena revealed she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. 

This is a huge admission and I'm super proud of her, because there's a huge stigma around mental health. I personally believe there's real power and strength in verbalizing something like this, because there tends to be a lot of shame attached to a diagnosis like this. Speaking about it out loud, on a platform where millions of people will see it, is profound. Shame cannot survive when it the stigma is spoken about in such a way. 

Everyone give this video a play. I also would LOVE to hear what you think about this in the comments.

Aww. 💜 Super proud of her for coming out and for doing something about it.   It's one thing to come out on social media to talk about having it, but I'm even more proud of her that she's actively seeking help for herself. She's headstrong.

Not all the ex acts falling for this  First Demi and now Selena 

What does this mean 

[ColdAsFire88]

I feel for her and Demi. I really like Selena as a person and as she matures she continues to blossom into a flower that we haven't seen before, but is it me or...does she have everything (health wise) wrong with her? I feel bad for asking, but damn. I mean I have health issues too. I am asking because I wonder when will people (stars) like her or Demi will start asking themselves if fame is worth it.

So many big popstars are bipolar, Mariah was diagnosed with bipolar disorder too , it's weird 

[Ofcoursenot]

Oh god... every artist out there is dealing with something 

[Winter _90]

I am very glad that she speaks with all the normality of her illness.

Mariah suffers from diagnosed bipolarity.
Demi suffers from diagnosed bipolarity
Selena suffers from diagnosed bipolarity.

None of the three has a conservatorship due to this illness.

What is the excuse for Jamie Spears, Lou M. Taylor, and Britney's attorneys to put her in conservatorship for alleged undiagnosed bipolarity?

People are not stupid, they think for themselves and with logic.

Such a shame that not everyone is lucky enough to have someone like Lou Taylor to protect them.

Jordan you asked for our opinions so don't come for me: at this point I feel like she's a hypochondriac. She needs to stop looking at herself and start doing some kind of manual work, and for others. I'm not saying that whatever she's feeling isn't real, but I swear rich people invent diseases to make sense of all the drama in their lives... which I'm pretty sure musn't be too different from ours. So take a vacation and deal with it, Selena.

[Winter _90]

I forgot Kanye West, who also has a diagnosed bipolar and does not have a conservatorship for this disease either.

[Livin4art]

I really feel for her , especially as someone who's dealt with many health issues lately and I am not a celebrity and can't even afford an health insurance at this low point in my life unfortunately, so yeah , for them of course it's easier but it also shows us that fame and money is not everything Even if they're life is easier than ours .....

Millions of people live with bipolar disorder managed and not. The conservatorship has always been about money. If Britney Spears wasn’t a multimillionaire she wouldn’t have EVER been placed under one.

I’m more concerned with Miley’s greasy mullet than I am with Selena’s mental health. 

[YoungOne]

Lol Miley looks so bored of the topic I didn’t know they were close at this age.

[LELE]

 

i read this  comment on TMZ : she also suffers from "new album flopped" syndrome.

Did her new album flopped ?  i hope not .

[Isla]

She’s incredibly brave for sharing this, I know it must have been hard to do so. She’s been through a lot over these years.

some of the comments people have been making online however, some have been really unkind. I don’t get it.

I work in mental health and my true thoughts on bipolar disorder in particular is it shouldn't be diagnosed before the age of like, 30....

BP is a pattern of mania and depressive episodes. And tbh, I feel like when you are a teenager / young adult you simply haven't lived long enough to establish a pattern. There are so many life circumstances when you are young that are unstable; dating, forging your own identity, career paths, solidifying family and friend relationships....it honestly breaks my heart when I see kids as young as like, 16 being diagnosed with bipolar. like what!? they're not 'unstable'  or 'unwell'....they're trying to grow up in a complex, challenging world. 

I honestly think rich people may be vulnerable to psychiatric diagnoses from doctors who want the $$$$$$ of the medications and appointments that come along with that. I also believe some people search for a mental health diagnoses or label when they need to just accept that some behaviours they do are healthy, and some are not so healthy. Every phase of your life does not need an analysis. 

Obviously there are people who are truly bipolar, truly ADHD, truly have anxiety, truly have BPD....I would never discount psychiatry....but....yeah. That's what I think. 

[Barmy86]

Aren’t most female power strivers bipolar .... I’m not surprised or care. Selena is still an icon in the making. I’m more concerned why is she even on Miley’s show? 

[Rosewater]

Kii at Selena pouring her heart out and Miley isn't even listening to what she says.
