 “I don’t know her personally, but Selena Gomez is one of the STRONGEST and MOST BEAUTIFUL people inside and out. I applaud her for being so open about her health and mental health. And I applaud her even more for clapping back at haterz, but she shouldn’t have to.”

Gomez has indeed been one of the most visible celebrities addressing the realities of living with serious health issues, including lupus and bipolar disorder. Despite the stigma still surrounding mental health, she has used her platform to share her experiences and advocate for more accessible mental health care. In 2020, she founded the Rare Impact Fund as part of her Rare Beauty brand to help fund youth mental health services globally. Through this initiative, 1% of all Rare Beauty sales are dedicated to supporting organizations working on mental health access, making it an integral part of her brand’s mission.

In October, Gomez gave further insight into her mental health journey in an interview, sharing her strategies for self-care. One of her key recommendations was to avoid isolating too much. While she acknowledged the importance of taking time alone, she also cautioned against bottling up difficult feelings. Instead, she encouraged others to find someone they trust to confide in. “It really does help to share,” Gomez noted, underlining how valuable human connection can be in maintaining mental health.
