She has accessible therapy, books & endless help. I’m glad she’s using her wealth to better herself. Not a lot of people have these types of opportunities.

As someone with ptsd, i'm inspired that celebs like her opens up like this to bring more awareness towards mental health

This poor girl has been through hell, medically and mentally. She's brave and strong and kind

[whothehelliscarlos]

As someone who suffers with anxiety and depression I love how open she's always been to her fans about herself and her mental health

[jojobrew]

It's gotta be so hard being in the spotlight all the time, I've always admired Selina, she is beautiful, talented, strong, & real.

Bipolar alone is already a lot and she had to deal with so much more! Glad she has support.

[lujain]

What a strong, brave, beautiful woman. I’ve loved her since I was a little kid and still loves her. She inspires me since I’m too struggling with my mental health

[CELEBRITYNOW]

Being so open about her disease, Selena helped a lot of people. Especially making them talk about it and not being afraid to share their story

[BiPolarClay]

I was diagnosed with Bi-Polar at 15 and I am 38 now. The best thing I ever did for myself was learn about what that meant. The more I learned, the easier it became to live with it. Very happy that Selena is sharing her story. This literally made me cry this morning. SO proud of her! It's a rollercoaster, anyone who suffers from it will know. It's bitter baby and it's very sweet. Holy rollercoaster, but I'm on my feet. ~ Red Hot Chili Peppers | Soul to Squeeze.

Love her and her strength! I too have Bipolar 1 disorder and other mental health conditions, I am so happy to see someone so successful with this disorder do so well in life ❤️❤️ God bless her and everyone battling/living with any mental health disorder

[pedrodiaz]

Sadly a lot of people aren’t fortunate to have aid, rehab, or treatment because of the high cost, but I admire her for talking about these types of illnesses.

Selena continually uses her massive platform to do positive things for the world despite going through disastrous and huge challenges along the way. Love you sel❤

What😮 I’ve loved her for so long and I’m glad she’s talking cuz bipolar is such a hard disease to deal with, I was diagnosed bipolar 1 psychosis and i love her strength

As a person with bipolar disorder I understand what she is going through

[Andy]

For somebody as famous as she is I have got to admire her level of honesty and how down to earth she is

[ayela]

I’ve never felt one way or another about Selena until I really started paying attention to her messaging around mental health. I’m so impressed with her as a human being. She struggles and she shares it to help us all. She’s a lovely human being.

[PearlFirexx]

I was diagnosed with Bipolar I in February, along with several anxiety disorders, and PMDD (Severe PMS). Started on Lamotrigine and in just 4 months I got a new job and have been working full-time ever since.

[nurdieh]

Been diagnosed with bipolar for years. It's so scary how erratic it can get, and I am thankful for Selena for showing us a part of herself. I used to watch her continuously as a child in Wizards of Waverly Place, and it's good not to feel so alone.
