Selena Gomez Reveals She Was Diagnosed With Bipolar Disorder

Selena Gomez has bravely revealed that she was diagnosed as bipolar.

The 27-year-old musician and actress shared that after going to McLean Hospital, one of the best mental health institutions in the United States, doctors helped her make the diagnosis.

Selena went on to explain that having as much information as possible helped her no longer live in fear of mental illness.

“When I have more information, it actually helps me, it doesn’t scare me once I know it…When I finally said what I was going to say, I wanted to know everything about it and it took the fear away,” Selena explained on Miley CyrusBright Minded live stream.

She continued, “When I was younger, I was scared of thunderstorms and my mom bought me all these books on thunderstorms and she was like, ‘The more you educate yourself on this, the more that you’re not going to be afraid.’ It completely worked. That’s something that helps me big time.”
