Selena Gomez opened up about her mental health struggles on 'My Mind & Me'.

In the personal side of Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me, the singer-actress reads excerpts from her diary full of self-doubt and fear. Revealing her bipolar disorder is certainly a service, but the six-year span spanning this intimate Apple TV+ presentation works to flesh out her revelations into a documentary.

Directed by Alec Keshisian, who credited Madonna: Truth or Dare and Gomez’s 2015 video “Hands to Myself,” the film begins preparations for its 2016 tour during rehearsals in Los Angeles, giving an insight into the subject matter. It demonstrates a broad approach. Sports arena before curtailing schedules due to anxiety and panic attacks.

From there, “My Mind & Me” (which is also the title of a new song Gomez is releasing) follows her on a trip to Kenya, accompanying her as she endures questions from the paparazzi, and as she visits people. Rip everywhere, sometimes accompanying her. From their old neighborhood, they reflect on the frustration of dealing with the press as part of a media tour.

“I feel like a product,” she complains at one point, later confiding to friends that the kind of inane questions she regularly fields can seem like “such a waste of time.”

This documentary is perhaps most notable because it showcases the work of Gomez, who represents the Rare Impact Fund, an effort to raise funds to help young people deal with mental health issues and problems.

During a speech, which neatly sums up the underlying point of the documentary, and the fact that even someone who seemingly has it all can be plagued by challenges, Gomez says:

“As great as life was, underneath all of it I was struggling,” It’s easy to downplay the courage it takes for celebrities to let down their guard and acknowledge their frailties or fallibility, revealing the side of herself, the public doesn’t always see. That alone makes the message significant – a point underscored by the jet setter parts of Gomez’s life on display here – and if it helps one person, more power to her.

Naturally, if Gomez resents feeling like a “product,” then “My Mind & Me” is using the product-like part of its fame and existence to market it. You can’t escape the thought.
