The actress-turned-singer called for mental health to be “de-stigmatized” in a passionate speech at the White House.
“Just to throw in a little bit of my journey, I felt like once I found out what was going on mentally, I found that there was more freedom for me to be okay with what I had because I was learning about it,” she said.“It sets the example that it’s a topic that can and should be discussed freely and without shame,” Gomez added.
The “Same Old Love” hitmaker — who was joined by Ambassador Susan Rice, US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, as well as 30 youth mental health activists — said she is using her platform in a bid to “help others feel less alone.” “Mental health is very personal for me, and I hope that by using my platform to share my own story and working with incredible people like all of you,” she said at the event, “I can help others feel less alone and find the help they need, which is honestly all I want.
Biden praised the participants for sharing their stories, saying it “takes courage to be honest about the struggles that you faced.”“And it takes courage to understand that your voice can make a difference and to show your creativity and talents, you know, to all of the world,” the first lady added.
