Demi Lovato Opens Up About Child Stardom, Mental Health & Resilience | Teen Vogue

[@mariavwrld]

I liked that she thanked the interviewer for also sharing her vulnerability.

[@itscatcheng]

Don’t think I’ve seen Demi this healthy, secure, and strong, and it’s so beautiful to see after all these years. And Versha led the interview with such respect and vulnerability. Amazing video 💗

[@milesdewar2413]

i know!! im so happy for her 😊 not everyone that struggles make it out of it, its so joyous when you get to see someone heal and become a better version of themselves!

[@tupacshakurvalencia9495]

You have to grow up mentally at one point of your life… if you don’t try maturing by 27/28 you’re gonna run into a lot of issues.

[@AkiJeanable]

I appreciate how this interview was conducted. The professionalism and the way each question was asked. So cool.

[@michete]

Agreed this interviewer did amazingly

[@qu4kerider]

i could listen to Demi talk forever! such a kind and strong soul.

[@Jolawnyk]

I love the journalist speaking so openly about her mental health issues at the same time smiling, having her makeup hair perfectly done depression and she is worth to be taken seriously because sometimes people think depression is all black and No it can be vitalite by everyone

[@Jessie12N]

Exactly, you would never be able to tell that I struggle with depression unless I said it.

[@madame__bizarre]

I was Demi's biggest fan as a pre-teen/teen. Her talent is undeniable and she's always seemed genuine to me. She's been open about her mental health struggles when depression and other illnesses/disorders weren't talked about much and while she's had her ups and downs since, I never stopped admiring her for that. Glad to see her doing better now. I'll definitely watch her new documentary as the topic of child stars is so interesting to me.

[@Dash120z]

you can tell this hair color is like a revamped version of her 2018 blonde hair before her OD, the fact that she can go back to it and now create new happy memories makes me so proud of her ❤

Blonde Demi scares me she was also blonde in 2010 and 2012 during unbroken era

[@StrangerReads]

@@PopCultureKing2009 but she was also blonde during the DEMI era and she was doing pretty ok then. and it's just a hair color... it doesn't mean something bad will happen.

Demi saved my life back in the day. I am a couple years younger than her so I looked up to her so much in her Disney days. I grew up with junkie parents, I was bullied and beaten daily at school, and I was very depressed and suicidal because of it. When Demi came out with her album Unbroken and talked about all these issues it made me feel heard and like I wasn’t alone. I got help and slowly began to heal because of her openness and honesty.

[@actgirl1234567]

❤

[@sydneyhare8831]

I am the same way! I'm 29, just a couple years younger than her, and she is the reason I am still here today. I watch her mom's tik tok lives often too, and I can see where Demi was raised to be such a kind and wonderful soul!

I’m not crying I’m fine. It’s cool. I’m cool. But seriously, having other people talk about this stuff, suicidal ideation and what depression is truly like and feeling trapped in your own mind. I respect these women so so much. Thank you. You guys make me feel like there is hope that perhaps I might get through this too ❤

[@sydneyjetter4493]

Demi’s honesty has made it feel like she’s there with me when I’m in my darkest moments. Her leadership has given me permission to forgive myself for my mistakes and given me so much hope. I can’t thank her enough for what a blessing her honest interviews have been in my life 😭

yes, she said in her Dancing with the Devil documentary that she believed she was misdiagnosed however in 2023 she sang a very different tune explaining how relieved she felt to be diagnosed "bipolar", idk 2021 was a very wild year for her

[@Hilowrious]

@@codezero7981both can be true. She could have been misdiagnosed but not being aware of that during diagnosis she could have felt relief for being diagnosed as it provided her with answers in that moment that made sense at the time. Maybe just not explained properly in this interview

Most likely she's been assessed by different psychiatrists and given different diagnoses as psychiatry is so subjective. In 2021 she was probably told she was misdiagnosed and then more recently another mental health professional has told her she does have bipolar.
