A while back, the singer revealed that she had been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD), which had significantly affected her daily life. Now, in a recent interview, she opened up about her condition and the clarity she gained after receiving an official diagnosis.<\/p>\n Speaking to VIBE following her performance with Giveon at Coachella 2026, the 30-year-old reflected on her journey. She said, \u201cWhen you finally have the tools, you have the diagnosis. But along with the diagnosis comes the work.\u201d She shared that after being diagnosed, she was able to access the right medication and explore targeted therapies to better understand what works for her.\u201cI also gained this tool belt of awareness. I’m starting to recognize my symptoms and triggers. I’m starting to learn what kind of life I have to lead as a person whose mind is different,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n The singer also spoke about the importance of being open and transparent about her diagnosis with those around her. She explained that doing so allowed her to seek help when needed and emphasised how honesty plays a crucial role in the healing process.Sharing an example of how her loved ones support her, she said, \u201cHey, if you see these signs\u2014I\u2019m not sleeping, I\u2019m not eating, I\u2019m talking really fast. All of a sudden, I want to pick up 17 new hobbies, and I might dye my hair pink\u2014maybe call me in and tell me I\u2019m tripping. Call my psychiatrist. I\u2019m in crisis.\u201d Kehlani first shared her diagnosis publicly last year through a social media post.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nKehlani opens up about clarity after her diagnosis<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
