Thank you, Justin Bieber. Your honesty about mental health benefits all of us
Celebrities' revelations about their mental health and what they are doing to improve it could help reduce the stigma about mental health problems.
Justin Bieber made news last week for canceling the remainder of his world tour so he could heal his “mind, heart, and soul.” The media and some celebrities have portrayed the announcement as a disappointment to his fans. But by opening up about his struggles and his choice to step back from the spotlight, the singer can inspire more honest and accepting discussions about mental health issues and coping strategies among his fans.
This isn’t the first time that Bieber has opened up about mental health issues. He described to that trouble sleeping led him to take Adderall,. Bieber is not the first to disclose these challenges and take a break.
