Demi Lovato becomes part of Hope Dealer, helping those who suffer with mental illness

Demi Lovato has come far not just musically, but also mentally. She has made it through criticism over the years and continues to do forge forward because she has learned how to handle it by raising her voice to keep everybody aware of a harsh reality.

Lovato, 22 is raising her voice to defend those who suffer from any mental illness. She stepped into the mental health advocacy role in 2014 by opening up about her own fight with bipolar disorder. She receives treatment today for for her struggle with both an eating disorder and bipolar disorder. Lovato went to rehab back in 2010 for three months after realizing that she needed help. She is a strong woman, but every person needs a support system. Her other half, Wilmer Valderrama has been there to help her through some tough times. Now she wants to pay it forward by continuing to help others.

According to CNN, Lovato is doing everything she can to help those who are suffering. CNN named her a “Mental Wellness Warrior.” Lovato openly stated, "I'd medicate myself with drugs and alcohol in an effort to feel normal -- not better, just normal." "I want to show the world that there is life -- surprising, wonderful and unexpected life -- after diagnosis," she says.

Lovato has launched a new clothing line with the clothing company, Regular Hero, called the Hope Dealer Collection. With the help of WE365, they are “dealing hope” to help those suffering from mental illness with the end goal of showing them there is still hope.

Regular Hero’s website announced, “We teamed up with Demi Lovato to help her raise awareness and money for mental health.” The products were hand picked by Demi herself and all profits from the sales of the products will go to the Lovato Scholarship fund at CAST Recovery.

The scholarship was started by Lovato in 2014 in honor of “her father, Patrick Lovato, who passed away in part due to untreated mental health and addiction issues” in 2013. Now, with Hope Dealer, she can support those suffering from mental illness that much more.
