Dove Cameron has been in the entertainment industry for quite some time already, but it was only later that the young artist has fully pursued her music career.
In a new interview, the "Boyfriend" hitmaker has detailed what she has been experiencing for quite some time - something that most singers and artists have been feeling as well.
Is Dove Cameron Okay? Singer Reveals She Has Been 'Suffering'
In a lengthy Instagram carousel that she has posted, Dove Cameron has revealed that she has been struggling with her mental health state.
"the self is someone i feel i have always deeply known, someone i deeply love and protect, like my own child, i know this self and we are very close. for me, identity and the self have always been diametrically opposed, and there has only ever been room for one at a time to occupy my life. i have never been able to make them hold hands, and i realize as i get older, its because i hold a deep seeded belief that who i am is wrong, i am not allowed to be just as i am, i am not meant to be here. i feel i must be something else if i am going to be allowed to be here. and i really do wanna be here with you," she wrote along with photos of her in tears.

Dove details that she has been suffering from depression and dysmorphia about her public and personal identity.
In her post, she also pointed out that so far, her self and identity seemed to battle each other out, and the longer she suffers from it the more she realized that these dialogues are universal.
Aside from dysmorphia and depression, Dove also highlighted that sexuality and performative gender norms are throwing her up. Noting particularly how social media, branding, and constant broadcasting of herself online is not optimal for mental health.
"there is room for us to talk about the things that terrify us/can't be commoditized on a large scale, that can't be commercialized and easily sound-bitten. maybe the spaces that are the least human can become the most human, if we want that, and we can all let each other take up a little more space. i love you," her statement ends.
Cameron recently attended the Billboard Music Awards 2022 where she shocks everyone with a racy plunging red dress. In the interview, Dove talked about the chart success of "Boyfriend" and how fans received it.
