Mariah Carey. (Jordan Strauss / Associated Press)Mariah Carey opened up about her mental health on Wednesday and confirmed her longstanding battle with bipolar II disorder. “Until recently, I lived in denial and isolation and in constant fear someone would expose me,” the 48-year-old singer told People. “It was too heavy a burden to carry, and I simply couldn’t do that anymore.
