Ever since last month, Justin has been “going to several doctors” because he was dealing with personal struggles, but that he was “not in rehab,” insiders revealed to Us Weekly. “He sees a therapist, but he’s not in a special center or anything. He doesn’t want to be dependent on medication. He struggles with ups and downs, anxiety, depression and uncertainty about the future.”

And the “What Do You Mean?” singer has support from those closest to him as well. Insiders exclusively revealed to In Touch that his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez even reached out to him to let him know she’s thinking of him. “She’s sent Justin very loving messages of support,” the insider revealed, and is “wishing Justin the best.”

Justin also has the support of his wife, Hailey Baldwin. Insiders told Us Weekly that the 22-year-old model “is not going to leave” him despite his struggles. “She’s been so supportive of him throughout this process,” the source said.
