Mariah Carey reveals for the first time her battle with bipolar disorder. Carey was diagnosed in 2001 when she was hospitalized for a physical and mental breakdown. Superstar singer-songwriter tells PEOPLE editor in chief Jess Cagle, “I didn’t want to believe it”.
Carey shares, “Until recently I lived in denial and isolation and in constant fear someone would expose me. It was too heavy a burden to carry and I simply couldn’t do that anymore. I sought and received treatment, I put positive people around me and I got back to doing what I love- writing songs and making music”.
