In 2010, the former Disney star learned that she was bipolar and was treated for an eating disorder and cutting).
“You’re constantly asking yourself, ‘What will happen if people know my diagnosis?” she explained. “For me, it was more complicated. ‘Would I lose my career, doing what I love?’ … I pretended for a long time to be OK so that I could continue to work. And that’s why I’m here today, to tell young people who are asking themselves those questions, uncertain of what lies ahead, that they are not alone.”
According to reports, Lovato has recently been linked to actor Wilmer Valderrama, 33, whom she’s dated on-and-off since 2010.
