People magazine quoted Selena saying, "It's the medication I have to take for the rest of my life - it depends on even the month, to be honest. So for me, I really noticed when people started attacking me for that. And in reality, that's just my truth. I fluctuate. It depends what's happening in my life."

Selena candidly told Cosmopolitan in 2020, that all of the negativity took a toll on her mental health. "That got to me big time. I think for me, that really messed me up for a bit," she said.

The singer revealed that she is now primarily off social media which allows her to avoid the critics.
