In the video, he said he has been in rehab and is feeling much better as he has been seeing a psychiatrist and a therapist.
According to him, he has bipolar disorder, which he felt he had always known about but did not admit because he did not want to take medication.
“I have a therapist and a psychiatrist now, which has really been helpful. When I got my bipolar disorder diagnosis, I felt like I had always known for the past few years, but I didn’t want to admit it because I didn’t want to take medication.”
