Justin Bieber is spreading the word that he is in therapy and focusing on his emotional health. His latest Instagram story comes at a time when other celebrities are bringing awareness to their daily struggles and fight for mental well-being. Britney Spears recently went forward saying she was checking herself in for mental health treatment for at least 30 days, and the news came after Amanda Bynes went public with her mental health struggles.
Normalizing therapy and showing fans that it is okay to get help is one of the most powerful things celebrities can do to combat the stigma associated with mental health, depression, and suicide.
Justin Bieber went public in an interview with Vogue where he discussed dealing with depression and how his wife Hailey Bieber was helping him make it through hard times.
When Justin Bieber shared a photo on Instagram that said “Therapy Session” he paved the way for more of his fans to realize that there is nothing wrong with seeking mental health treatment when it is needed. Life is full of ups and downs and when life gets rough, it is important to get the help needed until the tough time passes.
