In a recent interview, Demi Lovato talked about her public image. The singer shared her experience as a child Disney star, and how that was impacted when she went to rehab. In 2010, Lovato went to rehab for physical and emotional issues and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. She said that going to rehab helped break her "clean" Disney image. She said: "the transition was a little bit easier because I didn?t have to do anything to break out of the Disney mold. It?s a lot easier when you just go to rehab.? Lovato has been very open about her mental illness, and has said how lucky she is to have the resources to help her.
