Gomez has consistently raised awareness of mental illness through her platform. In 2020, she established the Rare Impact Fund as “part of her commitment to addressing mental health and self-acceptance,” according to the fund’s website.
Additionally, she has been open about her struggle with mental illness.
It was revealed last year that the singer, who was given a bipolar disorder diagnosis in 2020, had previously felt like she didn’t want to live after having a “mental breakdown” during her 2016 “Revival” tour, which she cut short.

Most recently, Selena Gomez announced a pause from the sites after her feud with Hailey Bieber, began to rekindle online. Gomez has taken social media breaks over the years to safeguard her mental health from critical commenters.
