Camila Cabello has spoke out on the importance not to bottle up any mental health problems you face.

The Bam Bam singer, 25, has revealed how her latest album titled Familia has led her to a path of mental healing which has had a “domino effect on every other area of my life”.

The Latina star admitted in a chat to Rolling Stone that talking about mental wellbeing is something which can still be seen as weak in some cultures but admits that’s one driving force for her to talk more openly.

She told the publication: “Having these conversations — especially in the Latin community — I feel like I want to talk about it more in Spanish and with that community too. Even talking about it with my family, it’s so different.”

The songstress had previously revealed she had been in the “worst mental state ever” pre-Covid, but told how therapy helped her find herself once more.

She continued: “There are different degrees to which people struggle with mental health, but I think, whether it’s life-changing or life-saving, when you bottle that s*** up, and you pretend, it eats away at your health. It eats away at your energy.

“It is so detrimental and I fully believe that trauma and mental health is physical health. It’s a public health crisis [and] people not talking about it.

“It leads to so much sickness in the world, so much violence in the world, so much mental illness in the world.”

Last month, the star finally addressed the rumours of a bitter feud with Fifth Harmony.

In 2016 she walked out on bandmates Ally, Dinah, Lauren and Normani after the group was formed on the US version of the X Factor four years earlier.

Ever since Camila quit the group, rumours circulated of a rift in the group and she seemed to hint at on-goings in Psychofreak.

Lyrics to the song include the lines: “Everybody says they miss the old me, I been on this ride since I was 15 / I don’t blame the girls for how it went down, down.”

Meanwhile, she confessed she has indeed kept in touch with her former bandmates after her exit, telling The Sun: “We have been supportive of each other through DMs and stuff. I’m in a really good place with them.”
