Sounds like she has an addiction problem that they're covering up with the bipolar disorder. She may have both but it's interesting that her press releases focus on bipolar... better to be bipolar than an addict.

You do know that a lot of people with bipolar disorder self-medicate with drugs & alcohol, & it's usually more abuse than it is addiction? It is WORSE being bipolar than an addict because of the stigma & high suicide rate related to bipolar disorder.

Bipolar is never fun if you have it, obviously. But this is a mild form here. Britney Spears suffers from a much more aggressive version. I guess people like to pick and choose who's worthy of their compassion and who's not.

Demi Lovato's comments are self-serving and out of place.
