Bipolar Disorder Bipolar Disorder Symptoms / Diagnosis Treatment Coping and Support From Marcia Purse, your Guide to Bipolar Disorder I have to admit I'd never heard of Demi Lovato before last week, but after reading about her life and her difficulties I applaud her family for insisting she get treatment - and Demi for agreeing. And I think being open about her disorders is a great step that will help keep her on track with her ongoing treatment. Demi Lovato - Young, Troubled and Honest She was in a TV series at 8 and a star at 15, but Demi Lovato's life, we've now learned, has been filled with difficulties. After experiencing suicidal thoughts at a young age, eating disorders triggered by bullying, and injuring herself by cutting, Demi now feels much has been explained by her diagnosis of bipolar disorder.
