Pete Davidson diagnosed with borderline personality disorder

Comedian Pete Davidson was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder last year (16).
The Trainwreck star checked into rehab in December (16), fearing his daily use of marijuana was leading to “mental breakdowns and blind rage”.
“I never really did any other drugs, so I was like, ‘I’m gonna try to go to rehab, maybe that’ll be helpful’,” he said on the WTF With Marc Maron podcast on Monday (25Sep17). “So I go and I get off weed. They told me there, they’re like, ‘You might be bipolar’, and I was like, ‘OK.’ So they’re like, ‘We’re gonna try you on these meds (medications).’ And then I got out (of rehab), and then I started smoking weed again – and I’m on meds.”
Two months after leaving rehab, Davidson “snapped” and had a “really bad mental breakdown”, so he gave up drugs altogether and when he started to realise he was sill feeling out of sorts he revisited the bipolar evaluation and eventually found out he had borderline personality disorder.
“One of my psychiatrists (diagnosed me),” he added. “He was always saying before this big meltdown, ‘You’re probably bipolar or borderline, we’re just going to have to figure it out…’ I’m depressed all the time.”
The Saturday Night Live regular is now undergoing therapy and has been put on new medication, but he is still struggling with the condition.
“It is working, slowly but surely,” he said. “I’ve been having a lot of problems. This whole year has been a f**king nightmare. This has been the worst year of my life, getting diagnosed with this and trying to figure out how to learn with this and live with this.”
