How can you all be so negative about someone who is actually impacting lives in a meaningful way? She pledged to donate 100 million dollars to mental health organizations and people in underserved communities to receive help they need. She’s trying to spread a message that everyone is deserving of that help. How many out of touch celebrities do you worship that don’t give a shit about the mental state of the every day person. Majority of the thing that affects us all in some way, crime, homelessness, drug addiction etc has a direct link to mental health! Start at the root of the problem and see how much less we deal with everything else/better understand struggles of mental health. Please people grow up and look at the bigger picture and stop shitting on people who are at least trying. Instead use that energy on working on being a more positive person in this world because we’re already drowning in daily negativity.

Compassion for all of us struggling right now.

It’s very important to remember that there is nothing wrong with you if you feel depressed or anxious right now. That may be a natural response to the situation we’re in.

Love her! We relate a lot. Stay strong Selena.

All these wealthy young actresses that worked at Disney as children are depressed adults now- Demi, Britney Spears, I'm pretty sure Christina Agulera had depression. It can't be a coincidence they all have a biological predisposition to be depressed. They were overworked at a young age and skipped a real childhood. Instead they grew up in a life where they were just given everything they ever wanted in exchange for working all day like a slave but everything they were given was just material things and not actual normal experiences of true friendship and playing in a forest stomping in mud puddles, climbing trees, swimming at the lake in the summer, or playing at a local park making friends. Their life growing up was not normal or healthy. I think they were pressured to all be sickly skinny. I also think many of them were exposed to drug usage too at a young age. Often times, depression can be healed if people just lived a more simple life and spent time outdoors with real friends or animals.

There are alot of folks walking around with mental illnesses, and due to stigma and discrimination, they're afraid to ask for or seek help, making it worse on their behalf.Everyone out there, please show compassion for others it can make a difference in their life.

People have been struggling with mental health in some form or another for many many years and either getting treated badly or dismissed altogether for just as long. Why is it when a celebrity comes forward about it all the sudden it gets the proper attention?

I am an avid mental health awareness advocate and spoken word performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my YouTube channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💚❤️

Thanks government for putting me through the worst year of my life and causing more depression than ever

[yobfandproudmills]

I am glad that Depression and Mental Health in general is/are getting recognized...albeit...still a long way 2 go...however..this young lady has been featured so many times re: her anxiety/ depression/ Justin Bieber..etc over the years... that I honestly feel someone else should be featured re: these so important issues... as I recall she had an entire album out not too long ago...that supposedly helped with her cleansing and honestly wish her the best in her journey of regaining control of her life..and mental health...but enough of her it is exhausting!!!!.LOL
