Taylor enters an in-patient mental facility

A source confirmed that the 45-year-old checked into an in-treatment facility for mental health to focus on his mental health. An in-treatment facility functions as a rehabilitation centre for those suffering from uncontrolled symptoms of mental disorders such as depression, bipolar disorders, eating disorders and more.

The source said, “Jax has always been candid about his mental health struggles, especially during the past few months on his podcast. He has made the decision to seek in-patient treatment. This is a particularly sensitive time for him and his family. They ask for privacy and respect until he is ready to speak more on this matter," as reported by People Magazine.

Taylor shared two books on his Instagram story titled, Get Out of Your Mind & Into Your Life and Set Boundaries, Find Peace, respectively and captioned the story “Healing” before his in-patient treatment journey.
