Earlier this week, Lovato opened up about her own mental health, telling Good Morning America about her mission to raise awareness about the stigmas that surround it.
When by GMA's Amy Robach on Wednesday whether she feels ashamed of her mental health struggles, Lovato said she is "not necessarily ashamed" but "maybe just a little embarrassed that I've gone through some of the things or made some of the choices that I've made."
"And I think that's natural for anybody that's you know, made mistakes in their mental illnesses," added the star. "But I also know that a part of getting rid of the stigma is spreading the awareness and talking about it."
Lovato has never been one to shy away from discussing her own struggles with mental health and has always been an outspoken supporter for those dealing with the same issues. Now, the "Anyone" singer is a spokesperson for Talkspace, an online therapy platform that connects users with licensed therapists from the comfort of their own home.

There are people there that love you and care about you and that will answer the phone if you call."
