Selena Gomez shares that she has bipolar disorder in conversation with Miley Cyrus - Video

Selena Gomez has opened up about being recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

Speaking to Miley Cyrus on her Bright Minded livestream on Friday, the 27-year-old singer said she was grateful to finally find out what has caused her suffering for so many years and wants to gain all the knowledge she can about the condition. 

"Recently, I went to one of the best mental hospitals in... America, McClean Hospital, and I discussed that after years of going through a lot of different things, I realized that I was bipolar," she explained to Miley. .

"And so when I got to know more information, it actually helps me. It doesn't scare me once I know it."

She continued: "I think people get scared of that, right? They're like, 'Oh!' And I've seen it, I've seen some of it even in my own family, where I'm like, 'What's going on?' I'm from Texas, it's just not known to talk about mental health. You got to seem cool. And then I see anger built up in children and teenagers or whatever young adults because they are wanting that so badly. I just feel like when I finally said what I was going to say, I wanted to know everything about it. And it took the fear away."
