Mariah Carey suffers with bipolar II
  • 6 years ago
Mariah Carey suffers with bipolar II disorder.



The 'Hero' hitmaker has revealed she's been secretly battling the mental health condition



for 17 years after she was diagnosed in 2001 following a mental and physical breakdown.



The 48-year-old pop star now undergoes therapy and is on medication for the illness.



Mariah initially thought she was suffering with insomnia because she'd continue working and pushing herself physically



until her body would eventually give up on her.



But after being diagnosed with bipolar disorder 17 years ago,



she's slowly come to terms with her condition and wants other sufferers to know they're not alone.



All we can say is that we have so much admiration for you Mariah.
