Selena Gomez 'seeking treatment' to 'tackle her emotional issues head-on'

Selena Gomez is seeking treatment at an East Coast facility, Fox News has learned.

A source told us, "Selena has emotional stresses as many other people also do. She has taken it upon herself to tackle her emotional issues head-on and is seeking treatment at an East Coast facility."

The news of Gomez's treatment comes a few weeks after the singer announced that she would be taking a step back from social media.

On Sept. 21, the Grand Prairie native posted a message on her Instagram saying she was taking a break, alongside a smiling photo of herself which she dubbed "Mood."

"Update: taking a social media break. Again," she captioned the happy image. "As much as I am grateful for the voice that social media gives each of us, I am equally grateful to be able to step back and live my life present to the moment I have been given. Kindness and encouragement only for a bit!"

She added, "Just remember -- negative comments can hurt anybody's feelings. Obvi."
