Doctors are worried about Justin Bieber following the singer’s unusual livestream sent out over the weekend.
In case you missed it, the Baby singer appeared in an unsettling Instagram video in which he played some unreleased demo tracks for fans. Shirtless and seemingly empty-eyed in the stream, the Biebs’ appearance immediately drew tons of concerned reactions from his fans and followers. And now, it’s getting worried reactions from medical professionals, as well.

In a new report from DailyMail.com, a psychotherapist in Manhattan named Jonathan Alpert is reacting negatively to the clip. And while Alpert doesn’t treat Bieber, it is nevertheless interesting to hear a medical professional’s POV on whatever might be going on. He said that Justin appears “physically and emotionally drained.” Then, he continued:
“From what we see in the video, Justin Bieber appears disheveled, fatigued and possibly unwell. People are naturally concerned.”
Alpert also tried to provide some context for what could be going on, claiming:
“It’s possible Bieber is simply exhausted from the demands of his career and personal life. The best thing anyone can do — whether they’re a celebrity or not — is recognize when they need help and seek it from someone who will hold them accountable, not just tell them what they want to hear.”
And a second doctor is echoing those concerns. Gaurav Bharti, a plastic surgeon in North Carolina who also does not treat or see Bieber as a patient, said that the star appears “very gaunt” and “a far cry” from the singer so many millions of people have come to know and love.
Dr. Bharti said:
“You see this video, he has some scruff on his face, this is obviously a case where this guy is huddled up at home and goes live on something almost looking not his best.”
The North Carolina doctor also pondered as to whether this was some kind of cry for help by Justin:
“You know, this seems like a cry for help. He looks in a very different state to the normal Bieber that all of us have known and gotten fond of. He looks much older, much more mature, more like he’s been through some stuff. He looks aged and tired, with maybe a nutritional status compromised by a lack of sleep and food.”
Before trying to conclude the whole situation on a positive note:
“We still love Justin, we still listen to his music, the kids still listen to it, he’s a legend and people still want to hear from him and want him to be relevant. He deserves so much support.”
Ugh.
All we can really do is continue to send love and light. Thoughts, Perezcious readers?
