Eminem

It seems Rapper Eminem is a manic depressive.  This is per his mother's (Debbie Nelson) tell all book, "My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem", that is expected to hit the U.S. next year.  The book is currently available in the UK.  Eminem and his mother do not have a good relationship as evident in some of his songs where he raps about his hatred of his mother.

As a result, his mother in 2002 filed a $7 million lawsuit against Eminem.  Eminem however have helped his mother when she was diagnosed with breast cancer and helped pay the more than $200,000 in medical bills.

According to Nelson, Eminem has always suffered from depression, however, when his ex-wife gave birth to his daughter Halle, his depression worsened.  Additionally, Nelson claims that Eminem has lost control of his life due to him being manic depressive. When the couple divorced in 2006, he worsened further.

A family friend tells Life & Style magazine, "She just hopes he'll read it and realize how loved he is. She fears she'll end up burying him unless he gets help... We all see him teetering on the edge of self-destruction."Eminem - Cleaning Out My Closet
