Comedian Pete Davidson is reportedly taking a break from work to prioritize his mental health. Known for his candid discussions about his struggles, Davidson has checked himself into a mental health facility.
Davidson, who has previously revealed his diagnoses of PTSD and borderline personality disorder, is focusing on his well-being with the support of friends and family. A source told PEOPLE, “Pete will often check himself into rehab to work on these issues. His friends and family have been supportive during this time.”
Last year, Davidson addressed his mental health issues with humor during a comedy show with John Mulaney and Jon Stewart in Atlantic City, New Jersey. “I am fresh out of rehab, everyone,” he told the crowd at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino’s Ettes Arena. “I got that post-rehab glow. The seventh time’s the charm!”
Davidson’s decision to step back comes after an incredibly busy period, including performing 200 live stand-up comedy shows across the U.S. This demanding schedule has likely contributed to the need for him to take a pause and focus on his health.
Davidson’s openness about his mental health struggles has made him a relatable figure for many, and his decision to seek help is a powerful reminder of the importance of self-care. By taking this time for himself, Davidson continues to highlight the significance of addressing mental health issues head-on.
His proactive approach to managing his mental health issues serves as an important message to his fans and the public that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Davidson’s transparency about his mental health journey not only helps to destigmatize these issues but also encourages others to take similar steps when needed.
As he takes this time off, fans and supporters are hopeful that Davidson will find the peace and recovery he seeks. His journey underscores the importance of mental health care and the need for ongoing support from loved ones and professionals alike.
