FUSE TV - Creed Frontman Scott Stapp Diagnosed With Bipolar Disorder

Creed’s Scott Stapp has struggled with depression, substance abuse, and suicide attempts in his two decades in the public eye. Today the 41-year-old singer reveals to People that he has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, is in recovery, and feels “lucky to be alive.”

Here’s Stapp’s account of the recent turmoil that finally led to medical attention:

"I had a psychotic break that was brought on by alcohol and drug abuse. 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. All of it was nonsense. I was out of my mind."
