Demi Lovato talks breakdown!

Demi Lovato had a nervous breakdown before entering rehab.

The 18-year-old singer-and-actress who left an unnamed Chicago-based facility in January after being admitted in November has already revealed she was treated for an eating disorder in the clinic and she has now admitted her parents were so worried about her mental health they staged an intervention to make her confront her problems.

“I basically had a nervous breakdown,” Demi said. “I was really bad off. My parents and manager pulled me aside and said, ‘You need to get some help.’ It was an intervention. I wanted freedom from the inner demons. I wanted to start my life over.”

Now the Sonny With A Chance star is looking forward to returning to work and says she has made vast changes to how she lives her life.

“I allow myself a lot of freedom and I’m very peaceful now,” she said.

“I have come to realize that just making yourself happy is most important. Never be ashamed of what you feel. You have the right to feel any emotion that you want, and to do what makes you happy. That’s my life motto.”
