So many rude comments! For those that don’t know about this disorder sucks! It’s the hardest emotions to deal with day by day!!! Keep doing a good job Mariah Carey! ❤️
Fabeee Olmos Yeah bullshit Mariah is irrelevant these days I don't buy her bipolar bullshit - 17 yrs without meds wow how did she get this shit by catching like the fuckin flu or a cold I've got diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder 14 months back very serious & was immediately put on tegretol 200mg I can't miss a single dose if I do I can easily loose control & flip out she's an attention seeking drama queen wanting public sympathy with a new album out soon what better way 2 promote it given the fact 2014's release was absolute fuckin garbage capecch 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
jose miranda & she won't get it either that's for sure the bitch ain't the only one in the world with bipolar but apparently in her mind she think she is we'll let everyone who feels sorry for the bitch & wipe her shitty ass for the bitch Mariah is an entitled spoiled bitch Its just occurred 2 me i just said bitch 4x in a row now that explains how fucked up I am lol 😂😂😂😂
People just don't understand what it is like to struggle from a mental health problem/s. It's an inner battle wherein you would think that you're alone. Other people around you can only say so much.
As a sufferer myself. I'm very pleased someone of her stature has come out. Such a sad world that people have to hide this. The ones who ditch out judgment. Stigma and hate are the ones with the problems. Certainly not me or her.
Brian Dash I'm a 47 year old woman who has bipolar illness also, and I'm so glad she's doing this, takes a LOT of courage!!!! So many judgemental people out there who don't know what they are saying, isn't it supposed to be a bible verse, judge not unless ye be judged, something like that! Mariah has always had a lot of class, way more than a lot of other singers and bands out there and she always will!!!
Brian Dash We do have to learn to take accountability for our behaviors still; this diagnosis isn’t an instant justification as that mentality contributes to the stigma. Often times we can be horrible, horrible people to deal with; I’ve caused drama where it wasn’t necessary, sometimes for my own enjoyment. I’ve been petty, even nasty and I’ve become aggressively confrontational, even physical over unfounded perceptions about people having it out for me. We need to be willing to meet halfway; sure it would do the public some good to research our illness but we absolutely do need to check ourselves whenever we feel that inner diva or rage-beast about to come out
Mental health is a terrible problem that doesn't get as much attention as it needs. Psychology and psychiatry are still pretty much just trial-and-error, I hope we can do better.
Every time I feel down and lonely because I have to deal with this illness, I searched for celebrities and successful people who have bipolar and that cheers me up. It gives me hope
No wonder she always looks sad in her eyes. And no wonder she's such a workaholic. She's so strong to be able to open up and help break down the stigma. God bless her and those who suffers the same. #Dontletitdefineyou #ProudofMariah
In case you needed another reason to adore this woman!! !!! I have been a huge fan and always felt I could relate to her somehow on a personal level and now I know why. Thank You Mariah- you go girl! Much Love!!😚😚
Boomer5150 we are all broken in some way or another. My struggle is mine to bear and seeing Mariah go public with her own gives comfort to my own broken pieces. 🙋🏼♀️ 👀But also 👿 👹🤣👾YES!!!👯🏼♀️ 😂😂🤣
it's me Joolz #1 I❤U. #2 I thought his first comment was in jest or meant to be playful so I responded with a real answer, then added for fun at the bottom a silly reply.. maybe his original comment was not written in any friendly sense and if that's the case, you are right! - not sorry for being me😁
it's me Joolz LOLL I am in Grad School for mental health counseling.. that's how I know we all busted up somewhere inside haha... I feel you & appreciate your kindness👍🏻😊🙄💃
Everyone needs rest from something, and remember, Mariah was broke af before fame and struggled. She's not a bad person, it's shown in her song "there's got to be a way"
The way the media mocked Michael Jackson literally to death, it doesn't surprise me why Mariah Carey was afraid to come forward about her mental health.
Mariah, Thank you for sharing your story. It’s your bravery of being open & honest that I’ve always admired about you. I also struggle with mental illness + a traumatic abusive backstory. Your music has continuously brought me through those times & beyond those times. Forever a lamb. 😘
me too i hate abuse so much . i found internal family systems. it is online and mainly or however the book NO Bad Parts. (its a counseling theory and practice) This goes against the mono mindset we all think ppl carry. and reason why we do have our burdens to each part of us. well; i also like dr zwig on well online but ppl think things are always static states and well too bad thats the way it is/ this bothers me. not everything is what it seems. supposed so normal people are usually so mean. well anyway all the best to you.
I have this disorder too. It's a struggle day to day and I feel stigmatized and discriminated against from people that I get to close to and neighbors because I'm different. Sometimes I think that this world is bullshit and is struggle to live in.
Mariah, I'm SO glad you chose to reveal this, I have bipolar disorder myself and I'm tired of feeling that I have to hide this part of myself from people or I will be rejected and thought of as damaged goods. You and Demi Lovato are my heros, you knew what might happen and the backlash you could get but you're a trailblazer and I love you for it!!!! Thank God for you, Mariah!!!! :)
hopefully red Awwwwww so sweet I wouldn't hold my breath & expect 2 receive a personal reply from her anytime soon if I were u she's in this shit for herself ha ha ha
So proud of Mariah! The entertainment industry takes a toll on all our biggest Icons. This isn't just going to help her but millions around the world. Never be ashamed of your struggles. Her bravery and her Music has inspired us all. We love you Mariah!
Me personally I struggle with anxiety sometimes and people sometimes think stuff like this is funny I promise you it’s not one thing you cant escape is your own brain and emotions imagine being trapped in a house with no way out it’s awful
That's how I feel ALL the time! I'm constantly battling anxiety, racing thoughts and depression. It's HARD to be positive and strong; it sucks when people don't take that seriously and think it's nothing!
noemistephanie93 right I completely understand just know that everything is ok I had to really figure that out myself sometimes I do feel down but I know it’ll pass and yes people do dismiss mental problems as nothing or just plain crazy its sad
Rainbow101 thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot! Yeah I hope things will be ok but I'm trying hard to get better. If only people took mental health more seriously, the world would be a better place
I struggle with mental condition / bi-polar, and this is very inspiring / helpful . Much love Mariah ty for inspiring me to put myself and self care above all else . You are a beautiful human being . ❤️
She didn't include the one thing she needs the most on that list. - Psychotherapy. They're giving her drugs that provide temporary relief, but don't address underlying issues/causes of her depression.
*E* They listed the "forms" and psychotherapy wasn't included. She's probably been taking various forms of "psychiatric medications" for decades. Just like so many other famous entertainers.
Wow I had no idea of this...!!! I also have bipolar disorder and it’s absolutely difficult to feel trapped inside a mind like this, like a runaway train. So inspired that she decided to share this. It takes quite a lot of strength to deal with this illness. Proud of this woman!!! I fear I’ll be 17 years into my diagnosis and still refusing help though.... it’s scary but I’ve found medication to be so soul sucking and I’m just not ready to do that. Anyway bless ya Mariah and all those who suffer this illness 🌹
Ray G yeah her mother also has bipolar. she obviously inherited it from her but it was most likely an event/several events that triggered the onset of the disorder (divorce from mottola, label issues etc)
Celebrities are also normal people, Mariah is not an exemption at all. Someone like me who can relate to her music understands and love her even more for coming out and being honest to tell she needs help because mental health is a serious problem. I hope people would understand her why she had these antics in recent years. She is a very talented and smart woman. Just like everyone else, she is a person who works hard to ensure that her craft is good and most importantly through her music she has inspired a lot of people not just in America but in the entire world.
She may have had a tough time with the children too and had realized doing this will be best for them. Can’t help anyone until you help yourself ❤️ good for her
I'm so proud of her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO MIMI. That's my girl. You continue to inspire me everyday! We have to stop the stigma surrounding mental illness, especially in the black community!
It seemed like some members on this panel just seemed like they were making fun of her and questioning her by their expressions. I watched this the other day when it aired, and I just felt like it was just a tad disrespectful. She is a living legend and a beautiful person. One of the most successful artists of all time. She doesn't get the respect that she deserves. Anyone else get that vibe?
As a Mariah fan, I personally along with many others am not surprised by this news. I just knew something wasn’t right with her actions but you play it off as her being the Superstar she is. I really wish her the best in life, she saved me in so many ways and here she was for all those years going through the same thing.
Don't think this will come as a great surprise to many but it's brave nonetheless. I find it incredibly sad though that she chose to ignore it in fear of jeopardizing her career but I get it because it was very different 20 years speaking out about anything to do with mental health. It's such a painful, frightening and traumatic condition I don't know how she coped unmediated for all of those years but it's a testament to her strength she could of saved herself from so much. I hope anyone suffering in silence can see that amid all the chaos that has consumed her life
I understood how she felt that she wasn't articulated about her mental health. I suspected of her behavior right before she even mentioned of her health since she was diagnosed with it since 2001. But I'm hoping that she'll be able to take control of her life and health.
Right, this is not about money. Money is nothing, from a point of view of course. But what matters is that from the moment she came to the public back in 1990 she put her mark on music history. That’s relevant
I love her no matter what media says. Depression is a beast 😢 Add celebrity status to it I can see where it can make life that much harder. God bless her and I hope people support her. She truly is an angelic songbird and touched so many lives through her smile, music and beauty. 💖
bipolar affective disorder 1978 Thats pretty evil of you to say. I love her as an artist and am not going to tear her down. Everyone's got struggles honey.
I work with SMI and inpatients. It’s quite the opposite. Hundreds of borderlines are Dx’d as bipolar. There is a huge difference and it’s very obvious to those who deal with patient treatment.
Unfortunately there is a stigma. It’s as if it’s contagious and people are afraid they are going to catch it. What they don’t realize is it could happen to them at ANY point down the road to THEM or someone extremely close to them that they never would have thought. I suffer alone, with no meds and it really sucks.
I never understood why people gave her a bad time 2001 for what was considered "erratic behaviors". I saw the clips (like that one with the mic and the one with the ice cream) and I was wondering : "what's the big deal?" There was nothing erratic about it. Whitney did so much worse on a daily basis. Why pick on Mariah? Maybe because she is so perfect, people need to knock her down.
I love it what a inspirational story I keep that in mind being bipolar diagnosed full blown mania since age 14 now 36 an singer growing up with family the worlds youngest accapelol gospel worlds wide an during that time I got very sick so my stop me being very ill an my sister remained soloists artist so everyone took there professional career in another turn of different directions years later I took my high school diploma an became a llicense cosmetologist single mom with 2005-2019 with two resolutions Shalena Porter day as well as never give up day every October 18 from Boston city council even I'm continuing a single mom because be i choose to be since then god came on the winning side giving me a remarkable unique gift with hands that picks up everything automatically none stop an also very stable from years an I thank God for that.
Listen what she said " I never took a break right after my high School ,I was just making records after records". I hope everyone who is in show business , music industries or else where needs to learn to take TIME OFF .
I've always loved My Mariah !!! Ever since I was a little kid. I loved her artistry and could see no wrong tht she did. However, I do notice often tht she always seems disconnected when she would engage w/the audience. Whether taking pictures or just having conversation within an interview....She never seems present. Behind the smile, she appears aloof.
Mariah’s brother Morgan came out in an interview disclosing her bi polar condition long before now. He did this interview with the National Enquirer and it is on RU-vid. It took her years to own up to it, but why did her brother disclosed this long time ago. With this segment why isn’t anyone discussing her intake of alcohol while taking her medication. Watch the RU-vid video and her brother states she has a drinking and a bi polar condition to which Mariah takes after her mother for this who Morgan states their mother has a drinking problem too. I know it is hard for people with substance abuse problems to confess and admit they have a problem. Nothing in this segment addresses her alcoholism the way Morgan addressed it.
