Teen actress Demi Lovato has revealed she suffers from bipolar disorder. The Disney star opened up about her battle just a week after Catherine Zeta-Jones announced she suffered from the same condition. Lovato, 18, told a US magazine she had 'battled depression from a very young age' but was not diagnosed with bipolar disorder until she underwent treatment for anorexia, bulimia and self-harm. "I never found out until I went into treatment that I was bipolar," she said. "Looking back it makes sense. There were times when I was so manic, I was writing seven songs in one night and I'd be up until 5.30 in the morning. "I feel like I am in control now where my whole life I wasn't in control." Lovato, who used to date Joe Jonas, entered a rehab facility in November last year and spent three months receiving treatment for eating disorders and self-harm. Her bipolar disorder diagnosis could explain why she was so quick to Tweet her support to Zeta-Jones when the actress announced she had received treatment for the same condition. Lovato said she had gone through the 'darkest time' in her life but wanted to use the experience to 'help others'. She has also opened up about her battle with anorexia, bulimia and revealed how she would cut herself with blades. Speaking to a US television show, the Camp Rock star said her problems stemmed from being bullied about her weight as a child. "I literally didn't know why they were being so mean," she said. "I was bullied for being fat." She added that she was now 'taking one day at a time'....
