In a recent podcast with his actor brothers, the star opened up about his struggles with OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) after previously opening up about his addiction issues with alcohol and gambling.‌“If I didn’t tap something a certain amount of times, I thought someone was going to die,” he told his twin Adam, 37, and Ryan, 41 on At Home With The Thomas Bros. “And I’d be speaking to myself going, ‘Everything’s okay. Everything’s okay. Everything’s okay.’"‌He revealed that he was reluctant to speak about this aspect of his life for fear of judgment, explaining that he felt he'd already spoken about his addiction issues and didn't want to share his other personal struggles.“I’ve not talked about this because I didn’t want anybody on my socials to think, ‘f***ing hell, is there any problems this kid’s not had?’ Gambling, drink, everything. But then the more I’ve looked into it, I’ve been, it must be something to do with being neurodivergent, ADHD.”‌Scott then spoke about going to a rehabilitation facility for help. He said: “I was in Hale Priory for cognitive behavioural therapy to get rid of my OCD. It was that bad that I couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night. I was literally just talking to myself going, ‘Everything’s going to be okay.’He explained that despite the help he received, obsessive compulsive disorder is still something he struggles with daily: "And even to this day, I still have OCD. And when I go to bed at night, I check my room three times. I check everything. Little thing, and I check under my pillow, like just little things."Scott previously revealed that he had lost a lot of money while he was under the influence of alcohol. He shared on Instagram: "I’ve been arrested four or five times for drunk and disorderly behaviour. I’d wake up in a cell thinking, ‘how the hell did I end up here?’”Article continues belowHe addedL “I’ve had a gambling addiction. I used to lose all my money in casinos, off my head on drink and drugs. Then I’d be at the bookies again the next day, trying to win it all back.“It blows my mind that that was me, but that was me for ten years. I was trapped in a cycle."Like this story?
