Lil Nas X opens up on mental health treatment, return to music after rehab
Award-winning musician Lil Nas X has revealed that he recently spent several months in rehabilitation, opening up about his mental health journey and recovery in an emotional video shared on Instagram.
The rapper and singer, born Montero Lamar Hill, said he has since returned to Atlanta, where his family lives, and Los Angeles, where he resides.
In the nearly three-minute video, he reflected on his progress and the importance of seeking professional help.
“I have a therapist now and a psychiatrist, which has been really helpful,” he said. “When I got my bipolar disorder diagnosis, I feel like I had known for the past few years, but I didn’t want to admit it because I didn’t want to have to take medication and, I don’t know, have people think differently of me.”
