Jax Taylor Reveals His Mental Health Diagnosis

Vanderpump Rules alum Jax Taylor still appears on reality TV and these days, the Bravo star features on The Valley. Ahead of the next season where Brittany Cartwright’s split and divorce will play out, he went into a mental health facility, and on his release, he shared his diagnosis. 

Jax Taylor & Brittany Cartwright Fought A Lot

From Vanderpump Rules, Bravo fans felt upset that Brittany Cartwright married Jax because he’d cheated on her. Still, they also hoped that once their baby, Cruz came along, he would settle down. And for a time, he did. The proud dad couldn’t help but smile a lot and he seemed happy. 

Over time, Jax Taylor seemed to become quite nasty to Brittany Cartwright. On their podcast, the Bravo star sometimes hinted that he hated some of the things he said. In any event, it all came late in the day, and after a long split, Brittany finally filed for a divorce. 

The Mental Health Diagnosis For The Valley Star

On Monday, the dad of Cruz took to his Instagram profile page and explained his diagnosis. In a long  and candid post, he said in part:

…I recently learned that I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and PTSD. 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. 

Unfortunately, Jax Taylor found a lot of Bravo fans who threw shade at him. As one person said, in the comments, it seemed a pity. That’s because “It takes strength to share and courage. Social media can be sooo cruel. Wish you the best on this journey to healing ❤️.”
