Demi's problems began when she was starring on the show as the young actor turned to alcohol and drugs.
Lovato recently appeared on the "Johnathan Ross" show where she opened up about the struggles that she has faced in her life. Demi stated candidly that she used to self-harm and had severe mental health issues such as depression. The star revealed that she used to hide her self-harm scars with makeup whenever she had to appear for an event.
