Pete Davidson Commits to Rehab for Personality Disorde
The mental disorders suffered by the comedian are due to the post-traumatic stress syndrome he suffered after the death of his father.
Pete Davidson has made the decision to step away from the spotlight for a while. According to what a source close to the comedian revealed to Page Six, he prioritizes his mental health, which is why he entered a rehabilitation center in Pennsylvania to treat the personality disorder and post-traumatic stress syndrome he has been suffering from since 2001.
According to the information released, the former Saturday Night Live star wants to be away from all kinds of distractions in order to concentrate on the treatment of his ailments. This decision was made after he was forced to apologize to the head of the PETA organization for the controversial purchase of a dog, instead of adopting it.
Although Kim Kardashian’s ex-partner has tried to make his life as normal as possible, his mental health has always been an issue and this is not the first time he will enter a rehabilitation center, as he has already done so on several occasions of his own free will.
The clinic where he has been admitted is the one in Pennsylvania and it is the same one where his friend John Mulaney, who went for help for drug and alcohol problems, was admitted.
The other times Pete Davidson has been hospitalized
The source close to Pete Davidson also revealed that the comedian is very aware of his problem and for that reason seeks help when he feels he needs it.
“Pete regularly goes to rehab to ‘tune up’ and take a mental break, so that’s what’s going on. Anyone who knows Pete knows that he will always step up and get help when he knows he needs it. He has a lot of people in his corner who love him and support him and are proud of him,” she told Page Six.
“He’s just taking a well-deserved break so he can focus on himself and learn how to better deal with his PTSD issues,” she finished.
Why does Pete Davidson have PTSD?
According to what was revealed, Pete Davidson suffers from PTSD after the terrible tragedy that was the loss of his father when he was only 7 years old. The comedian’s father was a New York City firefighter who died during the services of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
This event was overwhelming, which made him commit some crazy things as a result of the trauma, such as when he misbehaved at school, pulled out his hair until he was bald, or struggled with suicidal thoughts in his youth, the actor also revealed on the radio program ‘The Breakfast Club’.
It should be recalled that the last time he checked himself into rehab was after the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office charged him with reckless driving, following a car accident last March when he crashed into a house in Beverly Hills.
In addition, in 2022 he had to undergo trauma therapy, as rapper Kanye West launched messages against Pete Davidson, Kim Kardashian’s boyfriend at the time.
