VANDERPUMP Rules alum Jax Taylor has opened up about entering a mental health facility earlier this summer.
Following his recent divorce from Brittany Cartwright, the Bravo personality said he was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder and PTSD.
On Monday, Jax, 45, shared an Instagram photo of him reading a pamphlet while sitting on the couch.
“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 wrote in the lengthy caption.
“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.”
The Valley star said that while the situation has been “a lot to process and an emotional time,” he now has 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,” he added.
“Mental health is a lifelong battle of not letting it control you but rather you learning to control it.”
Jax also thanked followers for reaching out in support and those who shared their own struggles via messages.
