Selena Gomez Reveals She Has Bipolar Disorder Says, 'I Think People Get Scared Of That'

Singer-actor Selena Gomez has always been very open about mental health and she has now revealed to the world that whatever mental issues she was going through in the low phases of her life was actually something else. Gomez was pretty open about depression and anxiety but it was yesterday during an Instagram live session that she shared she was actually bipolar.

Well, yesterday she joined fellow Disney star, Miley Cyrus, on Instagram Live for her "Bright Minded: Live" series, the crooner opened up that it was actually good because she had a lot of information to help her. 

That was when Cyrus asked her what advice would she like to dole out to people who are suffering from mental issues and she said, "Recently, I went to one of the best mental hospitals…McLean Hospital and I discussed that, after years of going through a lot of different things, I realized that I was bipolar and so, when I got to know more information, it actually helps me. It doesn't scare me once I know it and I think people get scared of that."

She further went on to say, “I've seen it and I've seen some of it even in my own family where I'm like, what's going on?" The star noted in Texas, "it's not known to talk about your mental health." Instead, she said people feel as if they "gotta seem cool," which results in anger building up in young adults. When I finally said what I was gonna say, I wanted to know everything about it and it took the fear away," she assured. "When I was younger, I was scared of thunderstorms and my mom bought me all these different books on thunderstorms, so she's like, 'The more that you educate yourself on this, the more that you're not gonna be afraid' and it completely worked and that's kind of something that helps me big time."
