DEMI LOVATO reveals that she’s not only a cutter and recovered anorexic, but also battles bipolar disorder. The former Disney star was hospitalized late last year after suffering a mental breakdown.
Lovato opened up to 20/20 about her struggles and remembers moments of mania (the manic highs of bipolar disorder):
“I had no idea that I was even bipolar until I went into treatment. I was actually manic a lot of the times that I would take on workloads, and I would say, ‘Yes, I can do this, I can do this, I can do this.’ I was conquering the world, but then I would come crashing down, and I would be more depressed than ever.”
Although she’s only 18, she admits that she’s had an unhealthy relationship with food her entire life. She began binging at eight years old.
