@@ohnana18 The breakdown occurred in 2017: His partner broke up with him, triggering a mental breakdown that spiraled rapidly out of control. He hadn't been looking after himself mentally and physically for years leading up to the breakdown and it all hit him like a freight train. When he sought counselling, his therapist ended up starstruck and insisted his problems were related to fame and being a celeb, which wasn't the case. His bad therapy only exacerbated his depression.
