‘Teen Mom 2’ Star Kailyn Lowry Says She Is Bipolar

Teen Mom 2 star Kailyn Lowry has bipolar disorder.

The 20-year-old told Starcasm, “My mom is bipolar, and it turns out I am too.”

Lowry said she received the diagnosis in counseling after she got into a fight with her husband, Javi Marroquin, and his family. She quickly began taking medication.

Lowry said:

“I just want to publicly apologize in advance to my fans and even though Javi and I have moved on from it, I want to say I’m sorry again to him and his family for letting my emotions get the best of me.”

The incident in question will likely be documented in the fourth season of MTV’s documentary series, which may or may not be the final season. As previously reported by The Inquisitr, the fate of Teen Mom 2 is currently up in the air, largely due to the erratic behavior of Lowry’s co-star, Jenelle Evans.

In just two months, Evans went to rehab, got married, got pregnant, had a miscarriage, and then publicly demanded a divorce from her husband, Courtland Rogers. It was rumored that, because of the drama created by Evans, MTV was shutting down production of the series.

However, an MTV spokesperson recently told EW.com, “No decision has been made yet regarding a fifth season of Teen Mom 2. But the network is planning to air the fourth season this year and will announce the premiere date soon.”

Of course, as EW‘s James Hibbards posits, the network could simply recast Evans if she is causing that many problems.

In either case, season 4 will likely show Lowry coming to terms with her diagnosis and balancing her health with taking care of her 3-year-old son, Isaac.
