Selena Gomez has been reportedly admitted at a mental health facility due to an episode of “emotional breakdown,” according to TMZ. According to the report, Selena had to be hospitalised twice following a health complication. Later, she had to be admitted to a mental health facility after she went on a downward spiral. The 26-year-old singer was at her California home last week when she was hospitalised first in September. News reports also show Justin Bieber looking dishevelled and in the company of friends comforting him, soon after the news of her hospitalisation broke out.

Sources told TMZ that the singer was “despondent and emotional” after her white blood cell count plummeted, following which she was admitted for the first time in September. Selena, who had undergone a kidney transplant last year, had to be admitted again when her counts failed to improve. The episode sent her into deep emotional distress. She reportedly freaked out and had a “meltdown” due to her deteriorating health condition. Selena reportedly tried ripping off the IVs and insisted on leaving the hospital.

TMZ stated that she’s presently at a psychiatric facility at East Coast, receiving dialectical behaviour therapy or DBT meant for treating mental health disorders. Reportedly, it’s not the first time she’s received DBT. Selena Gomez Opens Up About Life-saving Kidney Transplant Surgery.

Obvi.” The singer had announced that she was taking a break from social media and had appeared on an Instagram Live, answering questions about her experience with depression in the past.
