Mariah Carey: Overcoming Bipolar II Disorder

Mariah Carey's diagnosis of bipolar II disorder dates back to 2001, but she chose not to reveal it publicly until 2018.

Carey revealed in an interview with People, "I previously lived in a state of denial and isolation, gripped by the constant fear of exposure. The burden became insurmountable, and I eventually recognized that I couldn't bear it. I pursued and underwent treatment, surrounded myself with positive influences, and resumed my passions—crafting songs and creating music."
