This time, the Latino star once again is facing these mental health problems but instead of keeping it to himself, he is being open to his fans to inspire them and let them know to seek the help they need.

In fact, J Balvin posted on his Instagram on Tuesday and discussed his personal struggles with anxiety and depression, according to We Are Mitu. 

J Balvin has been very active on his social media in the past. But these past few weeks, many speculated that the Latino star is facing mental issues after he became less active on his social media.

As one of the most popular artists in the world, he is known to document his day-to-day routine to his fans. Yet even though J Balvin recently posted his collaboration with Fortnite, he kept himself away from social media, and many fans inevitably grew concerned.

J Balvin shared in his video, "Like any human being, I've had some challenges. This time it's anxiety and some depression. I don't like acting or faking my happiness or that everything is perfect. I'm like any human being. I'm fragile and vulnerable, possibly more than all of you."

Moreover, he thanked his fans for staying connected with him. He also assured them that after the mental health issues that he is experiencing, he will be back to cracking jokes to his fans and followers.

He ended the video he shared with a peace sign while saying his real name.

It can also be remembered that last year, J Balvin shared that anxiety and depression are part of reality and it is perhaps his role to discuss these conditions that are often overlooked in the society.

He did not only inspire his fans but also his fellow star Camila Cabello to be open about their mental health struggles.
