I know Adam Levine has ADHD. I’ve been very selective in sharing my condition to someone but I kinda idolised him sometimes, partly, he has some of the struggles as I am especially during adult. But I also do adore Demi Lovato before Adam - who Demi has bipolar, she’s the first one that educates her fans into opening up and I follow. Hope this helps.
Yeah, I just saw that Pete Davidson opened up about his BPD diagnosis in 2017 while I was googling this. I think that's actually who I'm going to write about. His story is definitely an interesting one.
I found this quote he once wrote on his instagram story in 2018:
"i really don’t want to be on this earth anymore. i’m doing my best to stay here for you but i actually don’t know how much longer i can last. all i’ve ever tried to do was help people. just remember i told you so <3"
That's sad. Poor guy. He's a great comedian, too.

I was also watching (I think it was the Rob Lowe one) a roast on comedy central the one time, and I forget who, but somebody made a really fucked up joke about Pete Davidson's dad, saying, "the only person who's inhaled more smoke than Snoop Dogg was Pete Davidson's dad" (his dad died working as a firefighter on 9/11), and everyone just stared at Pete Davidson in horror after that, but Pete was actually laughing his assistant off and said, "What? It was funny..." lol. I think it definitely affects him much more than he lets on at times, but it is also important to be able to laugh at yourself sometimes. I do it all the times. Laughter really is the best medicine sometimes (well, when you have nothing better, anyway 😉).
Britney spears is diagnosed with bipolar. I hate the whole ''oh, she wore her wedding dress while on a date with a paparazzi'', and the usual ''doing a Britney'' which refers to her shaving her head then afterwards she attacked the paparazzi with an umbrella, they were driving her fucking crazy to be fair, she had no sense of a normal life, she kept telling the paparazzi ''i'm a normal person just like you'' and she is in a certain light, I used to have a huge interest in her at that time, I'm glad she kept fighting and fighting and now has proven to herself she can fight this disorder but sadly still under conservatorship all these 10 plus years later which she is currently fighting, was actually in the news just yesterday.
Thanks for correcting me, sorry I should have wrote *believed* to have bipolar. According to google she was never officially diagnosed, at least that was released to the media. I think though for them to still have the conservatorship against her will all this time, there is probably a true diagnosis we are unaware of. Thanks 
Lots of movie directors have said/claimed that they were “manic depressives,” as to whether or not they were officially diagnosed, or met the diagnostic criteria &/or features, is another matter. Kind of like how everybody likes to claim they’re “ocd,” or “add,” when half the time, they don’t even begin to truly/fully understand what that means. If they ever opened up and began to flip through one of those diagnoses, they might be in for a rude awakening! 
Here's a few I've managed to dig out
Isaac Newton - suffered from several nervous breakdowns and also prone to fits of rage
Ludwig vanBeethoven - suffered with bipolar
AbrahamLincoln -suffered from severe depression
VincentVanGogh - depression interspersed with bouts of mania s inferred from his personal letters, one guy who had suffered with unstable moods as well as being prone to epileptic seizures which may have been due to his consumption of absinthe.
WinstonChurchill - apparently , another one suffered from depression or what he referred to as "black dog"
JohnNash, - Schizophrenia
Isaac Newton - suffered from several nervous breakdowns and also prone to fits of rage
Ludwig vanBeethoven - suffered with bipolar
AbrahamLincoln -suffered from severe depression
