Selena Gomez expresses a profound optimism regarding the mental well-being of the upcoming generation

Selena Gomez, at 31, finds herself deeply inspired by the younger generation's approach to mental health. The actress, diagnosed with bipolar disorder four years ago, recently spearheaded a special event for her Rare Impact fund, raising $7 million for mental health causes. Reflecting on the event on Instagram, she expressed immense hope and gratitude, emphasizing the significance of mental health in her life and the collective mission she shares with her supporters.
During the event, Gomez engaged in a conversation with US Surgeon General Vice Admiral Vivek Murthy, discussing the importance of social connection and the impact of communities like the one she has fostered. Murthy praised Gomez for her role in promoting self-acceptance, support, and healing worldwide.
This event follows Gomez's inaugural Rare Impact Fund Benefit in October 2023, where she candidly shared her struggles before her bipolar diagnosis, highlighting how understanding her condition brought clarity and reduced fear.
