Demi Lovato health: Singer discusses her bipolar disorder and how she copes with symptoms

“People often throw the word bipolar around very often and in situations that don’t relate to bipolar disorder at all,” the singer said.

“So, there is a lot of negative stigma when it comes to discussing mental illness in America, and my goal with Be vocal is to change that.

“But for me, it’s something that represents something that I have, it doesn’t represent who I am.”

Although bipolar disorder is a lifelong condition, a person can manage your mood swings and other symptoms by following a treatment plan.
