Singer Selena Gomez Reveals Bipolar Disorder Medications May Impact On Her Ability To Have Kids

Selena Gomez has opened up about the effects the bipolar medication on her body. In an interview with Rolling Stone, the star shares that following her diagnosis, she was put on various medications that took a toll on her overall health and may impact her ability to have children.

The Singer says that before she was diagnosed, she experienced bouts of psychosis, and after spending time in various treatment centers, she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and given various medications.


Explaining that she is worried about her ability to conceive due to the bipolar medication she is on Gomez said, "That's a very big, big, present thing in my life," noting, "However I'm meant to have them, I will."


Despite fears of infertility, Gomez explained that finding the right treatment for her bipolar disorder became essential and as a result of all the trial and error,
Selena said she lost herself. "It was just that I was gone, There was no part of me that was there anymore.”


Gomez revealed she eventually found a doctor who helped her find meds that worked and she slowly began to feel like herself again.


"He really guided me," the Singer said. "But I had to detox, essentially, from the medications I was on. I had to learn how to remember certain words. I would forget where I was when we were talking. It took a lot of hard work for me to (a) accept that I was bipolar, but (b) learn how to deal with it because it wasn’t going to go away."
