Multi-hyphenate Selena Gomez’s candid documentary, “My Mind & Me,” is now available to viewers in the U.S. on Apple TV+. Directed by Alek Keshishian, the 95-minute film follows Gomez’s journey to stardom, as well as the mental and physical health struggles that have come with being in the spotlight from a young age.
Gomez’s early career was marked by recurring performances on “Barney & Friends” in the early 2000s, minor gigs on Disney Channel original shows and ultimately a lead role on “Wizards of Waverly Place” as Alex Russo. But the ex-Disney star’s reality was far from the perpetual happy endings she portrayed; the documentary provides a jarringly intimate snapshot at how Gomez’s path to fame coupled with personal trauma enacted severe consequences on her mental health.
“By being fully honest and transparent about what I walked through, there’s nothing that they can say that honestly will affect me,” Gomez told Variety’s Marc Malkin on the red carpet for the documentary’s Nov. 2 premiere at the AFI festival. “I am who I am and everyone’s about to see it. That’s all I got.”
