LOS ANGELES: Selena Gomez has openly discussed her long-running struggles with anxiety and panic attacks, drawing global attention and praise across social media platforms. Fans and mental health advocates commended her honesty in speaking publicly about emotional wellbeing and treatment.
Mental health experts say when internationally recognized personalities share personal experiences with anxiety, it helps reduce stigma and encourages others to seek professional support. Many people delay treatment because of fear, embarrassment, or misunderstanding about mental health conditions.
Specialists added that fame, constant public scrutiny, online criticism, and demanding work schedules can significantly affect emotional wellbeing. They say more open conversations by celebrities can help normalize therapy, self-care, and early intervention for mental health challenges.
