Although she was diagnosed in 2003 as manic-depressive, it was only last Thursday that Sinead O’Connor decided to reveal her mental illness to the public.
The singer made the announcement on the Oprah Winfrey show, and also shared that she has considered suicide over the years. O’Connor also admits that she often cries for no apparent reason.
The singer attempted suicide on her 33rd birthday, but did not reveal details of the incident.
On medication since 2003, O’Connor can now live a more peaceful life. Her moods are now under control.
