This girl is actually a wonderful young lady. She has gone through a lot. She suffers depression on a severe level. She was removed from Disney because of her actions, driven by depression and anxiety. She was inflicting pain on herself to escape the panic and anxiety. At one point she was cutting herself looking for relief, not attention.

Demi is an amazing vocalist, and has an acting talent that surpasses that. Hopefully she is able to find real help and not self medicate.

For a short period of time she dated UFC fighter Luke Rockhold.

My wife says the latest craze she's seeing in the ICU is called Crocodil. Apparently, they mix gasoline with heroin before shooting and it eats them from the inside.

We all have a choice in the things we do and how we act in life... Everyone has emotions and gets depressed at some times. We all have problems in our lives. Some worse than others. But that is by no means an excuse to take drugs like heroin or start cutting yourself....

People can make excuses and label it with things like "depression", but you have a brain, and you ARE able to control yourself... I know quite a few people with depression, they would never in a million years touch a drug. But they are strong willed people who make smart choices in life, and live with their problems.

If you choose to go down that road, knowing damn well what the consequences could be, i have no sympathy for you. Especially from a loud mouthed hypocrite who thinks they, and their opinions, are better than other people's and are very vocal about that. Which basically sums up your average celebrity.

Eh, within reason. There are varying levels of depression, and strong will alone may not necessarily be enough to overcome it. It's not exactly a "bad day slump." A deaf man can't hear, and it doesn't matter how many times they're told to try harder, they can't hear.

Venomous...in this case you are talking out of your ass. You obviously have no idea what this young lady - or anyone suffering from depression or addiction is up against. If they were easily fixable ailments then everyone would be able to beat them. It is not anywhere near as cut and dry as you make it sound.

She's an addict in an industry that is surrounded by drugs. Go figure.

Meh, not going to lose sleep over it.

I'm pretty sick of celebrities and Hollywood trash, and their attitudes. Considering they talk down to you and most of them are degenerates and druggies.

And they want to lecture us on how to conduct our lives.

What did Disney do to her?

A LOT of Disney child stars are messed up. A lot of it stems from them being sexually molested by studio executives and/or the executives' friends as underage children. The media always tried to paint Corey Feldman as crazy when he was trying to tell the world about the pedophilia that goes on in Hollywood. When you look at the child stars that are now adults, the majority of them have psychological issues. A few of them were smart enough to quit the business altogether. (When's the last time you saw the Jurassic Park girl in anything? She quit Hollywood.) Why a parent would push their child into that world is beyond me.

It's not just Hollywood, either. Look at sports. It finally started coming to light that many underage female athletes were being molested by their coaches and team doctors. Many Russian female athletes are turned to porn when their sports careers end. Remember the American gymnast Sean Johnson? She was being turned down a seedy path after her Olympic debut, but she was smart enough to bail before things got too far out of hand. With this #METOO movement going on, I'm just waiting for the flood gates to open and female gymnasts from way back when start coming forward.

Anyways... I'm of the opinion that media fame is no place for children.

You are 100% right - every single person's depression and issues are on the same level. No one suffers differently than others and mental health issues can totally be controlled by just choosing not to be depressed /s

Good ole SVTP. You're liberal, no sympathy. Celebrity, no sympathy. You made a stupid decision one time, no sympathy. Depression and addiction, especially when combined are no joke.

Sorry but your analogy doesn't work. A deaf person does not have the physical ability to hear. A depressed person however, can physically get out of depression. While it is difficult, it is possible.

There's a few of you who seem to believe depression is incurable and something you have to deal with your whole lives. I disagree very strongly with that assumption. Everyone can say they have experienced depression in their lives at some point. Some people simply do not want to stop being depressed. It becomes comfortable for them in a weird sort of way. Doesn't mean everyone who suffer from it is intentionally staying depressed but it is something that can be beat.

I'll leave it at that.

Ehh, I tend to agree with Venomous to a point. We all have bad days but to me for 99% of people that aren't "crazy" it comes down to "choose to control your emotions or choose to let your emotions control you". Stop pouting, get out of bed, go for a hike, get your endorphins/adrenaline going or go do something you like with people you like. DO NOT continue to make poor choices and make the situation worse.

Also, absolutely do not put anything into your body that can kill you with a small dose.

And I do realize that some people are way screwed up from issues that are not their fault and those people will have more trouble than most breaking out of the cycle

You are entitled to your opinion, but in my opinion you are greatly oversimplifying this. While you worded your response very nicely, it is obvious that you don’t have personal experience with these issues. I was the same way until I experienced these issues with loved ones and friends. None of these issues made sense to me. I felt everyone should just “not be depressed because they have so much to live for”....or “they should stop taking those awful drugs”....but it is not that simple. There are other factors that are beyond the afflicted’s control that come into play. Using drugs is wrong - I completely get that - just don’t be so quick to judge those who have problems that stem from using...you have not walked in their shoes.

Until someone openly admits they were addicted to heroin, got off of it, and it was easy, I won't make an assumption that it's "just a decision" and that it's as simple as "deciding" to stop and "be happy". Everything I've ever read or seen, it's not that easy.

I've wrestled with depression, and while it's very near and dear to my heart when someone struggles with it, it's not a cut and dry fix to just decide to be happy. I can not offer any earthly context to what it's like to wrestle with hardcore drug addiction and if someone can just decide to stop. From what I've seen, it's a hell of a lot more difficult than that, and you're chemically bonded to using. Much like you're chemically bonded to the feelings of depression and that cliff you fall off of..

Quick name 10 songs we’d recognize.....

I have no idea what the name of her songs are. But I do know she's a famous pop singer. Kinda difficult to go anywhere w/o hearing about her. Then again, I suppose it all depends on where you're from and what you watch on TV or listen to on the radio.
