In the new documentary, Selena Gomez lays bare her challenges with bipolar disorder, a life-threatening disease, and fame.
Selena Gomez has been very open about her physical and mental health journeys. And today, she's opening up more than ever before, with the release of her new Apple TV+ documentary Selena Gomez: My Mind and Me. Fans will get to see Selena Gomez in a way they never have before as the film will follow Gomez over a six-year time period, highlighting her career, personal life, and her relationship with mental health.
Directed by Alex Keshishian, Selena Gomez: My Mind and Me follows the highs and lows of Gomez's journey, including her diagnosis with lupus and battle with bipolar disorder. The film promises to give fans a “uniquely raw and intimate” look at how the pop star dealt with the pressures of her rising fame and a life of stardom from a very young age. This isn't Keshishian's first experience directing a celebrity documentary — in 1991 he made waves with the controversial Madonna: Truth or Dare. Gomez says she reached out to Keshishian about her own documentary after watching Truth or Dare.
