Demi Lovato: Bipolar Disorder Treatment!

Demi Lovato: Bipolar Disorder Treatment!

Demi Lovato has opened up about her struggle with bipolar disorder.

“I never found out until I went into treatment that I was bipolar,” the 18-year-old singer and actress told People, adding, “Looking back it makes sense. There were times when I was so manic, I was writing seven songs in one night and I’d be up until 5:30 in the morning.”

Demi shared that after treatment, she’s able to take control of her life and make healthy and positive choices. “I feel like I am in control now where my whole life I wasn’t in control,” she dished.

FYI: Yesterday, Demi announced that she’ll be leaving her Disney Channel show, Sonny with a Chance, to focus on her music career.

I’m glad she’s so open abut it; it’s make her more relatable and real. Plus it explains when she snapped on that reporter when asked about miley.

I doubt that explains why she snapped at someone. I snap at people and I’m not bipolar. But it is good that she’s talking about her problem and not ashamed of it.

All the best to her. She’s very pretty and talented so hopefully her career will continue to move forward.

I don’t think she is Bipolar just because you snap at people doesn’t mean you are Bipolar. I guess she is looking for sympathy . It’s funny how nowdays acting like a B*tch can mean you have Bipolar. I wish she would shut up about her problems she is just looking for more publicity.

Please. These celebrities, they behave badly and all of a sudden they have a mental disorder. Tiger Woods cheats on his wife and he’s a “sex addict.” Let me guess, Christina Aguilera is on the verge of depression.
Own up to your bad behavior and drug use instead of doing such a disservice to people who really suffer from mental illness.

oh yeah new craze – bipolar disorder!

I dont care this girl more gitting smile with cry and with crap

Come on…I know that kind of disorder…capricious little rich girl.

I had eating disorder until 30, now I’m Ok, but I’m not trying to give myself all kind of disease to bring myself some sympathy.

Let’s see in poor countries if there’s a lot of bipolar people…cut the s.h.i.t.

Is this the new fad in Hollywood? Who’s next? Charlie Sheen? Lindsay Lohan? These “celebrities” are just a bunch of self-centered idiots that will do ANYTHING to stay in the public eye. The hell with them!

@13, Oh sligo shes beautiful in the world ;-D

I’m very proud of Demi, there are few people who have the courage to do what she did and still share it with everybody else, she is very strong she is my inspiration and she is the best example for people of strength and courage
