Creed's Scott Stapp Reveals He Has Bipolar Disorder

In an interview with People, the Creed lead singer candidly discussed his breakdown last year and his bipolar disorder diagnosis.

Last November, Stapp made headlines when he released a rambling video in which he declared that he was broke and “under some kind of vicious attack.”

"I had a psychotic break that was brought on by alcohol and drug abuse," he says. "I was hallucinating. I drove around the United States for a month, following an angel that I saw on the hood of my car."

"In my delusional thinking, I thought my family was involved in ISIS, and that millions of dollars had been taken from me to support terrorism," he continues. "All of it was nonsense. I was out of my mind."

Eventually Stapp began getting treatment and received the surprising news that he was struggling with bipolar disorder, a condition that causes sharp shifts in energy and mood swings.

“It was hard to process,” Sapp confesses. “There’s a stigma associated with it. But Jaclyn [his wife] kept telling me, ‘Embrace it. We love you.’ It became a big sigh of relief, because finally, we had an answer.”

Stapp he is now sober, in a 12-step program, on medication for his disorder and says, “Nothing is more important than my sobriety.”

CCM Artist Carman Diagnosed With Myeloma Cancer

CCM legend Carman has just announced that he has been diagnosed with Myeloma Cancer. Please keep the singer in your prayers. Below is Carman's personal letter to his fans via Facebook about the diagnosis...

I have delayed writing this but those of you I call friends and supporters, who have prayed for me and this ministry need to know about this new battle that lies ahead. One week ago I was diagnosed with Myeloma Cancer. It is incurable and I've been given a 3-4 year window of time. Tomorrow I go in for my first bone biopsy and the process will start. I used to go to movies in the afternoon, now I go see doctors. I write these things for a few reasons. First, I want to put an end to all the rumors. Second, I ask for your prayers. And 3rd, I want you all to know that I will continue to minister and win souls until I can't do it any longer. My life has always been about ministry. I have a call of God to touch lives with the gospel of Jesus Christ and that's what I will do until the Lord calls me home. Please, do not allow this facebook site to be an ongoing blog for cancer treatment remedy's. That would be depressing to everyone. If you have any insight you can message me personally. But I want to encourage you, if you can, to please come see me the next time I'm in your area. Bring someone who doesn't know the Lord or who needs to be healed. I will always pray for the sick and I'm also going to step up the intensity of my message at these events. I will not leave this world quietly and I want the devil to know that he put cancer on absolutely the wrong Italian. I have a few good years and before it's too late I want to see your faces, shake your hands and hug your necks. But mostly I want to see one of you get healed of what threatens your future and I really want to see someone you love come to Christ. Now lets get back to business, we have to work while its day for soon the night comes.
I love you all -C
