She hasn't been in the news recently talking about it. And I know at one point in an interview she said she didn't want to talk about having bipolar disorder or being a victim of mental illness.

Here's the quote:
She said: 'You know what? I’m sick of talking about it because I never wanted to be the poster child for this [bipolar].
'I never wanted this to come out publicly. It came out,' she added emphatically.

In the same interview she also said 'We all have issues in our life and I’m really lucky that I have great friends, great support and that’s all I can do.'

and:

'I'm not the kind of person who likes to shout out my personal issues from the rooftops but with my bipolar becoming public, I hope fellow sufferers will know it is completely controllable.'
'I hope I can help remove any stigma attached to it, and that those who don't have it under control will seek help with all that is available to treat it.'

That's from an interview on Good Morning America.

Basically it seems like the intention was - something she wanted to keep private became public so she decided to talk about it. Probably so there wouldn't be rumors floating around and then she doesn't want to talk about it.

I guess I'm confused because people in this thread seem to not want a stigma for mental illness but do want a stigma for famous people with mental illness.
