After spending 30 days in a mental health facility, The Valley star Jax Taylor has revealed that he has been diagnosed with bipolar and with post-traumatic stress disorder.
“A little over a month ago, I checked into an intensive inpatient treatment facility scared of the unknown and what I would find out about myself,” he captioned a post on Instagram. “After many years of knowing something was wrong but not knowing exactly what it was, I recently learned that I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and PTSD.”
“It’s been a lot to process and an emotional time for me, however I’ve come home to my son with a new found sense of peace,” he continued. “I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t scared for the future but my focus is just trying to be a better version of myself than I was yesterday. Mental health is a lifelong battle of not letting it control you but rather you learning to control it.”
Jax’s wife, Brittany Cartwright recently filed for divorce from the star after months of separation.
The Vanderpump Rules alum thanked his fans for their support.
