Lovato hasbattled addiction, mental illness and disordered eatingfor years and been open about her struggle to stay sober. In 2010, she entered treatment, where she was treated for bipolar disorder, bulimia, self-harm and addiction. She relapsed after she left the treatment center, then entered a sober living facility for a year.
After treatment, insiders say she still struggled with her private pain. “Demi was never really clean and sober from all of her demons,” a Lovato source told PEOPLE. “She has been fighting depression and anxiety for quite some time — and is still in such a dark place. She was sober for awhile, but not completely sober for six years.”
Last March, Lovato revealed shecelebrated six years of sobriety,but in June she released a new song, “Sober” on which sherevealed that she had relapsed.
