"I think everyone should know what a shaved head looks like, I was also feeling the need to shake myself up a little bit," the 24-year-old musician tells the journal.

Another significant shift occurred last year when the Canadian superstar canceled his Wonder World tour to concentrate on his mental health. Although he admitted that leaving the road at the midway mark was difficult, he realized it was necessary.

Shawn previously announced the cancelation of his tour due to mental health issues. The chart-topping singer, who dated Camila Cabello between 2019 and 2021, also expressed gratitude to his fans.

In a statement, Shawn Mendes said:

"I know you've all been waiting so long for these shows, and it hurts my heart to inform you that I won't be back until I've had enough time to heal. I adore you all and am grateful for your love and support throughout this journey."
"The procedure was extremely difficult," he said. "I spent a lot of time in therapy, trying to figure out how I was beginning to feel and what was causing me to feel that way.
"And then I did the work to assist myself heal. And I'm also relying on individuals in my life to help me out a little."
"It's been a lot of work, but I think the last year has been the most eye-opening, growing, beautiful, and just healing process of my life," he continues. "I'm also grateful to everyone who has been so accepting, loving, kind, and understanding. It just made me realize how culture is finally coming to terms with mental health."

Why taking a break because of mental health is important?

Taking a mental health break is essential for maintaining good mental health and well-being. It can help reduce stress, improve mental clarity, enhance creativity, restore balance, and prevent burnout.

When you take a break from the demands of everyday life, you can gain a fresh perspective on situations that may be causing stress, prioritize your tasks, and make better decisions. By allowing your mind to wander and explore new ideas, you can increase your creativity and innovation in both your personal and professional life.

Taking regular mental health breaks can also help you restore balance in your life by focusing on self-care activities such as exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.

Mendes did what was necessary, as he explained in his Instagram posts as well as in various journals, where he emphasized the importance of mental health as well as highlighted the reasons behind some changes in his life.


Taking a mental health break is an important aspect of maintaining good mental health, and it can have a positive impact on all areas of your life.
