Justin Bieber is reportedly 'receiving treatment' for depression

Justin Bieber is reportedly seeking medical treatment for depression.

According to People magazine, the 24-year-old singer is "struggling" with mental health issues and getting counselling.

"Justin seems down and tired," a source told the publication. "He has been struggling a bit."

The source stressed that Bieber's battle has "nothing to do" with his new wife Hailey Baldwin, 22, who he married last September after just three months of dating.

"He is very happy being married to her. It's just something else that he struggles with mentally," said the source. "He has good help around him and is receiving some treatment. He seems confident he will feel better soon."

It's believed Bieber's struggles have more to do with his relationship with fame than anything else -- something he still hasn't grasped since being thrust into the limelight in 2009 at just 15 years old.

"He's emotional and struggles a lot with the idea of fame -- being followed, having his every move stalked by fans, cameras in his face," the source said. "It all sets him off and he often feels like everyone is out to get him."

The star has also opened up about his depression in the March issue of US Vogue, which features himself and Baldwin on the cover.

"I started really feeling myself too much. 'People love me, I'm the s---,' that's honestly what I thought," he told the magazine. "I got very arrogant and cocky. I was wearing sunglasses inside.

"I got really depressed on tour," continued Bieber, who cancelled his 2017 Purpose world tour in 2017 saying at the time that he wanted his "mind heart and soul to be sustainable."

"I haven't talked about this, and I'm still processing so much stuff that I haven't talked about," he told Vogue. "I was lonely. I needed some time."
