Demi Lovato Diagnosed With Bipolar Disorder
Posted on Wed Apr 20, 2011 02:39 PM PDT
Demi Lovato has revealed that she suffers from bipolar disorder, People magazine reports.
The actress, 18, quit her tour and entered a treatment center in November after punching one of her dancers. Lovato says her three-month rehab stay, where she underwent therapy for anorexia, bulimia and cutting, is also where she discovered that she was bipolar.
"Looking back it [the diagnosis] makes sense," she says. "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."
Last week Lovato tweeted a message of support to actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, who just opened up about her struggles with bipolar disorder and checked into a rehab facility earlier this month.
"I feel like I am in control now where my whole life I wasn't in control," Lovato says.
Lovato announced Tuesday via Twitter that she would no longer star in Sonny With a Chance, the Disney series that made her famous. She said she is "forever grateful" for her time on the show, and also said she's heading to the studio to record a new album.
She tweeted at Timbaland about their "collaboration," hinting that he will work with her on a new album. Lovato is also a newly appointed contributing editor to Seventeen magazine.

Ah duh Demi sucks again and I'm a total fucking moron!!!! Duh duh duh.
I keep beating the haters to it. Soon you guys will having nothing left to do lol.
I'm waiting for the haters to give here more free publicity. Come on out idiots. You know you want to help her career ;-) fucking retards.
Everyone is bipolar these days. I know I am.
She has one of the coolest personalities...I hope Everything will get better with time for her... Wild child :P
She is a dumbass with mental illness.
Have you ever seen a bipolar person in the manic phase?
NOT very pretty.
This will only get worse as she gets older.
What control?
She will only function for as long as the meds work on her.
She is an idiot and so are her handlers.
Oh, so now its the in thing to be BIPOLAR, ever since Catherine Zeta-Jones came out saying she is!
Bipolar disease is a new celebrity trend it seems. A cutter, eating disorder and bipolar? She REALLY should remain in treatment & I'm saying this to benefit her.
no no no,IT'S QUITE NORMAL AMERICANS TALK BULL SH*T, folks!!
"Oh, so now its the in thing to be BIPOLAR, ever since Catherine Zeta-Jones came out saying she is!"
You are aware that bipolar disease has been around since like...forever right? And she's not the only celebrity that came out and stated so you fucking retard. Kill yourself
She's lucky she found out so early. Most don't find out till well into their 20's after they've messed up all kinds of things.
We all have difficulties in our lives. She has a history of problems that she displayed publicly. Why continue doing that. Enough already. I wish her well. She is not strong enough for the life she is in. Stop and doing something different.
Everyone should know that this disease is very horrible. My mother suffers from bipolar disorder as well, and I could say that it is not a picnic for the whole family. When you have this, you will have this forever. There is no true cure for this. You will have to use medicines for all times to keep your balance. It is not cool to see someone whom you love being very depressed or manic.
People, use your brain, and stop posting stupid things, if you have no any clue about this serious problem.
I AM NOT GIVING HER PUBLICITY. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO SHE IS . BUT I HAVE TO PUT THIS OUT THERE....I AM SO SICK OF THESE CELEBRITIES COMING OUT AND PUTTING THEIR PROBLEMS IN OUR FACES. WE HAVE ENOUGH SHIT TO DEAL WITH. YOU CAN'T EVEN GO TO THE DOCTOR W/O PAYING A FOOT AND A LEG. NOW I HAVE TO HEAR THIS BITCH COMPLAIN ABOUT ANOREXIA, CUTTING, AND BI-POLAR. ENOUGH! NOBODY CARES AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO BUY HER SHIT JUST BECAUSE SHE IS A CRAZY BITCH. THESE CELEBRITIES MAKE ME WANNA THROW MY TV OUT THE WINDOW LOL.
She is doing this to show us that she is not that different from us. Moreover, she is doing this, to tell other people that they really need to get help if they are dealing with the same things. Think. It needs a lot of courage to admit that you have/had these psychological problems. Most people are ashamed to admit that they need serious help.
To James , 11:53:
Demi Lovato obviously has issues. I never said she couldn't be Bipolar or be mentally unwell.
Of course I know that Bipolar has been a mental issue in existence for awhile.
I was just simply stating that it seems like every celebrity now, is coming out with every mental disorder under the sun-
probably because they're under heightened pressure, or maybe take too much drugs or alcohol, or maybe some just want attention or even some slack/time off from the pressure to perform.
Also, her announcement came so soon after Catherine Zeta-Jones' announcement; Just seemed almost like a strange PR move.
Oh, by the way, take care of that anger issue of yours. Telling someone to kill themselves doesnt exactly scream a "mentally healthy person" to me.
Sorry it took so long for me to respond Chill pill. But I did have a life before I pwned you idiots. Uhm Actually she said this BEFORE Catherine Zeta Jones came out with it. If you bothered to do some research this interview was made BEFORE CZJ even stated such a thing. Also only TWO celebs came out with it so far. But I like how you think you have the ins and outs of every celebrity out there. Sorry but I'm gonna need more proof that some random internet dip shit to convince me. And I only told you to kill yourself because you are wasting too much precious air for the rest of us...is that so bad? Remember, the noose goes around the neck ;-)
Get better Demi!!! We all love you and can't wait to see you back acting and making music! :)
hey you haters.. dont you know that Demi is so nice.. she's my favorite singer she's so great stop commenting w/ bad words!!
