Jax Taylor Opens Up About His Bipolar Disorder and PTSD Diagnosis
Brittany Cartwright recently spoke out about her decision to file for divorce from Jax Taylor.
Jax Taylor provided an update on his health and life following his month-long stay in an in-patient facility.
The 45-year-old shared details about a recent diagnosis he received during his time at the treatment center in late July.
“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,” the Valley star wrote in a Sept. 2 Instagram post. “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.”
Reflecting on his reaction to the diagnosis, the reality star shared, “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. 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.”
