The 24-year-old singer opened up about her mental health, addiction, eating disorders and bipolar disorder diagnosis in an exclusive interview with People magazine.
Lovato says, "Every day is a work in progress so hopefully I make it to 2017 with my sobriety. I take it one day at a time and for today I’m doing great ... If you know someone or if you’re dealing with it yourself, just know that it is possible to live well. I’m living proof of that."
She added she has the support of her family, friends and treatment team - who are with her throughout her recovery.
"That relationship is ongoing - it’s not something where you see a therapist once or you see your psychiatrist once, it’s something you maintain to make sure that you want to live with mental illness. You have to take care of yourself.”
Lovato partnered with organisation, Be Vocal: Speak Up for Mental, in May 2015 - to share her experiences and encourage others to speak openly about mental heath.
“This partnership means a lot to my fans because so many of my fans are dealing with mental illness, whether it’s depression or bipolar disorder or even schizophrenia.”
Lovato continues with her sobriety and will be celebrating her five-year anniversary from her addictions in March 2017.
