Selena Gomez Reveals She’s Happier and Healthier Than Ever After Mental Health Break

Selena Gomez has once again spoken out about her mental health journey. The 27-year old shared how she’s dealt with her anxiety and bouts of depression over the last year. Now she is at a much happier and healthier place in her life.

How did the subject of mental health come up for Selena again?

Selena’s battle with anxiety and depression was discussed as a part of her speech after she won an award from McLean Hospital. Seventeen reported that Selena said she was “suffering mentally and emotionally” and felt like “all of [the] pain and [the] anxiety washed over me all at once and it was one of the scariest moments of my life.”

Since then, the starlet has been managing her emotions effectively, and has been keeping a healthfully busy schedule. Selena’s a part of Netflix’s newest documentary Living Undocumented, and she participated in WE Day this summer.
