Demi Lovato has never shied from opening up about her issues over the years, and now in the wake of the mass shooting at Oregon's Umpqua Community College last week, the singer is speaking out against the stigma surrounding mental illness.
The "Cool for the Summer" crooner explained that she's fed up with the public rushing to conclusions about the shooter's mental well-being by saying "I think it's really important to remember that actually mental health?people with mental illness are actually more likely to inflict harm on themselves and become the victim rather than be the perpetrators."
Lovato also shared more about how she's been urging Congress to focus on the national initiative Be Vocal: Speak Up For Mental Health?a cause that clearly holds a special place in her heart.
