Demi Lovato - a Disney star famous for her "Camp Rock" and "Sonny With A Chance" starring roles - checked herself into a treatment centre for "emotional and physical issues," her representatives revealed in a statement yesterday night.
The statement did not thoroughly explain the 18-year-old's issues, but claimed Lovato checked herself into a facility to help alleviate those problems.
An insider knowledgeable of the situation recently told The Associated Press that Lovato began treatment for problems including an eating disorder and self-mutilation.
Provided this opportunity of discussing the issue further - whether you're a celebrity or not - we all have stress in our lives. Some of us attempt to cope with the stress and take "control" over our lives utilizing dangerous methods, like anorexia, bulimia, drug/substance abuse, cutting, and more. If you are considering - or are already - participating in any of these behaviours, please stop immediately. Realize you have people around you that love you, and that there's always another way out. Surround yourself with positive influences and attain professional help, if needed.
