LOS ANGELES (TND) — Comedian Pete Davidson is currently receiving treatment at a wellness facility for mental health concerns, as reported by PEOPLE. According to a source, Davidson is taking some time to focus on his health, emphasizing that mental health has always been a priority for him.
Why did Davidson cancel his shows?
This news follows Davidson’s recent cancellation of several stand-up comedy shows during his U.S. tour. The Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall in Florida announced that an upcoming performance was scrapped due to a scheduling conflict.
What challenges has Davidson faced?
Davidson has been candid about his battles with substance abuse and mental health issues, including borderline personality disorder and severe post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). During a performance last year, he revealed that he had been using ketamine daily for four years. The DEA categorizes ketamine as a dissociative anesthetic with hallucinogenic effects, which can distort perceptions and create feelings of disconnection.
Recent legal issues
In June 2023, Davidson faced charges for reckless driving, just three months after he allegedly crashed into a Beverly Hills home. This incident occurred while he was driving during a collision on March 4.
