Marian Carey…Las Vegas Weekly

Mariah Carey

The singer and songwriter opened up in April about her struggles with bipolar disorder.

She was diagnosed in 2001 but kept it a secret from the public.

She explained, “Until recently I lived in denial and isolation and in constant fear someone would expose me,” she says. “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.”
