When Selena was recognized for her work advocating for mental health earlier this year at the McLean Hospital’s Annual Dinner, she gave a brief account of her personal struggle.

“I wasn’t able to stay all buttoned up and together last year because I was suffering mentally and emotionally,” she stated. “I couldn’t contain my smile or maintain a normal appearance.”

Last year, she looked for a mental health treatment program and checked herself into a facility.

Selena thanked her fans in an October interview with Ryan Seacrest for supporting her through some trying moments.

“They have supported me for a very long time and have been there for me through everything,” she remarked. “I simply wished to inform them that I was okay.”
