Jax Taylor is speaking out for the first time since leaving a mental health treatment center.
Back in July, it was revealed that the 45-year-old reality star, best known for starring on Vanderpump Rules and The Valley, had checked into an in-patient treatment center for mental health struggles. A few weeks ago, Jax left the center and returned home to West Hollywood.
On Monday (September 2), Jax took to Instagram to open up about his mental health and shared his two diagnoses.

It’s been a lot to process and an emotional time for me, however I’ve come home to my son with a new found sense of peace.”
“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t scared for the future but my focus is just trying to be a better version of myself than I was yesterday. Mental health is a lifelong battle of not letting it control you but rather you learning to control it,” Jax continued. “Thank you everyone who has reached out in support and who also shared their own personal struggles with me. Your messages have helped me more than you know.”
Last week, Jax‘s estranged wife Brittany Cartwright officially filed for divorce, six months after they first separated.
During a new episode of her podcast, Brittany, 35, explained her decision to file.
