Pete Davidson has entered a wellness facility for his mental health, according to a report from PEOPLE.
The 30-year-old Saturday Night Live alum is taking time off to focus on his well-being after a busy period of over 200 live stand-up shows across the country, multiple film projects, and the release of his second Netflix comedy special, Turbo Fonzarelli, earlier this year.
A source close to Davidson shared with PEOPLE that mental health has always been a top priority for him. The comedian has been vocal about his journey with sobriety during his tours and has openly discussed his struggles with borderline personality disorder and severe post-traumatic stress disorder.
Despite his busy schedule this year, Davidson has remained committed to his sobriety, and his friends and family are supportive and proud of his decision to prioritize self-care.
This isn’t the first time Davidson has sought treatment. Last summer, he underwent therapy to address issues related to PTSD and borderline personality disorder. During a comedy show in September 2023 alongside John Mulaney and Jon Stewart in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Davidson joked about his rehab stint, telling the audience, “I am fresh out of rehab, everyone. I got that post-rehab glow. Seventh time’s the charm!”
Davidson has been candid about his challenges with mental health throughout his career. He revealed his diagnosis of borderline personality disorder in 2018, explaining how it had affected him deeply and led to his decision to enter a rehabilitation program in 2016.
In subsequent interviews, Davidson has discussed his ongoing struggles and the impact of new medication in stabilizing his condition after turbulent years. He emphasized the importance of mental health support and education in helping him navigate his challenges.
