Demi Lovato, who suffered from mental health issues and depression discussed her bipolar disorder on Thursday at the Hollywood & Mind Summit in Los Angeles.

The 30-year-old singer explained how she was so relieved to be clinically diagnosed with bipolar disorder, as it helped Lovato to actually understand why she went through overwhelming emotions throughout her life.

Lovato, who was initially misdiagnosed said, "I was so relieved that I had finally had a diagnosis.” 

She revealed about the wrong diagnosis in her 2021’s documentary Dancing with the Devil.

"I had spent so many years struggling, and I didn't know why I was a certain way in dealing with depression at such extreme lows, when I seemingly had the world in front of me just ripe with opportunities,” she added.

The singer went on explaining, "It was things like, I remember being 15 years old on a tour bus and watching fans follow my bus with posters and trying to get me to wave outside the window. And all I could do was just sit there and cry,"

"And I remember being in the back of my tour bus watching my fans and crying and being like, 'Why am I so unhappy?'” she noted.
