Selena Gomez, Mandy Teefey, and Solomon Thomas on building Wondermind
Gomez used a SXSW keynote to talk publicly about lupus, bipolar diagnosis, and the Wondermind 'mental fitness' platform.
The Statesman's coverage of Selena Gomez's SXSW keynote with her mother Mandy Teefey and NFL player Solomon Thomas centers on Wondermind, the 'mental fitness' company they co-founded after Gomez's documentary My Mind & Me.
Gomez was unusually direct about her own bipolar diagnosis and what consistent treatment has and has not done for her. The framing — mental health as a daily practice akin to physical fitness — is contested in clinical circles, but it has clearly traction with younger audiences.
