Last week, 31-year-old singer Aaron Carter appeared on “The Doctors” and he revealed that he has been diagnosed with multiple mental health disorders that include schizophrenia, acute anxiety, multiple personality disorder, and manic depression.
Aaron is being treated with six different medications, showing the audience by holding up a bag of prescription pill bottles. “This is my reality,” he stated.
Aaron Carter’s Mental Health Tweets
Since last week, Aaron is still making headlines. On Monday, the singer tweeted, “I appreciate the love and the efforts from my supporters, but after my next two shows coming up in Kentucky and Missouri & after I fly to Vancouver to do the toy drive which I’m donating 400 toys and over 1k of fan donations I’m canceling the rest of my shows for the remaining year.” He continued by also tweeting, “I have to put my health first and I hope you can call understand how much I need this time to heal and recharge my batteries. Aaron says he will be back next year.
Making headlines again, Aaron’s brother, Nick Carter from Backstreet Boys, tweeted, “In light of Aaron’s increasingly alarming behavior and his recent confession that he harbors thoughts and intentions of killing my pregnant wife and unborn child, we were left with no choice but to take every measure possible to protect ourselves and our family. We love our brother and truly hope he gets the proper treatment he needs before any harm to himself or anyone else.”
Aaron has been through a lot in the past couple of years. He has opened up about his addiction to huffing. Carter says, “I was huffing because I’m a drug addict. I’m a drug addict in recovery. You might not look at me smoking weed as recovery, but I do.” He’s been sober for two years.
Evidence of a Co-Occurring Disorder for Aaron Carter
What Aaron has been going through sounds like a co-occurring disorder. Dual diagnosis (or co-occurring disorder) is when someone suffers from both substance abuse issues as well as mental health issues. People who are dealing with a dual diagnosis need co-occurring disorder treatment if they’re going to get and stay sober. While Aaron has been sober for two years, he is still battling with mental health issues.
