Selena Gomez has been seriously open about her mental health in recent years, and now the 'Wolves' singer has admitted anxiety and depression is something she thinks she'll face for the rest of her life.

The singer got real about making herself her top priority in 2018 in an interview conducted by 13 Reasons Why star Katherine Langford for Harper's Bazaar.

Take a look at the latest update from MTV News to get to the bottom of that Selena Gomez and Charlie Puth dating saga...

As the magazine's stunning March cover star, Selena revealed: "Anyone who knows me knows I will always start with my health and my well-being," before adding: "I've had a lot of issues with depression and anxiety and I've been very vocal about it, but it’s not something I feel I’ll ever overcome."

She added: "There won’t be a day when I'm like, 'Here I am in a pretty dress — I won!’ I think it’s a battle I'm gonna have to face for the rest of my life, and I'm OK with that because I know that I’m choosing myself over anything else. I’m starting my year off with that thought. I want to make sure I’m healthy. If that’s good, everything else will fall into place."

The babe also got completely real about her music, with a pretty sensible answer for why her next album has been 'forever in the making', she told Katherine: "I don't really set goals 'cause I don't want to be disappointed if I don’t reach them, but I do want to work on my music too."

"My next album has been forever in the making. When people ask me why, I'm honest about it: It’s because I haven’t been ready. I mean, point-blank, I don’t feel confident enough in where my music is yet. If that takes 10 years, then it takes 10 years. I don’t care. Right now I just want to be super intentional with all of the things I’m doing," she added.

It's all sounding pretty sensible if you ask us! Keep working on you girl.
