Demi Lovato Finds Hope

Following Demi Lovato’s recent in-patient mental health stays, she feels like there is light in her life again. The 31-year-old singer/actress has been open about her ongoing struggles with her mental health. Lovato shared her current state of mind during a candid conversation with Dr. Charlie Shaffer on Monday night at the Center for Youth Mental Health at NewYork-Presbyterian’s annual benefit. “I have been to inpatient treatment five times, and every single time I walked back into a treatment center, I felt defeated. And I know that experience firsthand,” Lovato revealed. “But I think the glimmer of hope was when I started putting in the work and I started to, whether it was work, a program, or talk to my treatment team and build relationships there. When all of the key parts started to fit into place like a perfect puzzle, I started to find the light again.”
