According to PeoplePete, 30, has decided to take some time off to focus on his health. The move comes after performing over 200 live stand-up comedy shows across the US, the release of his second Netflix comedy special, Turbo Fonzarelli, and working on several of his film projects.
According to a source, mental health has always been a “priority” for the comedian, which is the first and foremost reason behind his move. The comedian has always been vocal about his sobriety journey as well as his struggles with borderline personality disorder and severe post-traumatic stress disorder.
According to the source, after his busy work schedule this year, Pete is focusing on his sobriety. His friends and family are very proud that he has decided to continue taking care of himself, the insider added.
Pete recently underwent treatment in the summer of 2023 to address issues related to PTSD and borderline personality disorder.
Pete’s health journey
In 2023, Pete spoke about his problems with PTSD and borderline personality disorder. He enrolled in a rehab to work on these problems and found support from his family members and friends.
He spoke about this stint during a comedy show with John Mulaney and Jon Stewart in Atlantic City, New Jersey in September 2023.
“I just got out of rehab, y’all,” he told the crowd at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino’s Eights Arena. “I got the spark after getting out of rehab. The seventh time’s a charm.”
Pete said he took ketamine, a drug used medically as an anaesthetic, daily for four years.
In 2018, Pete revealed that he was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder after years of struggling with depression and anxiety. At the time, he enrolled in a rehab program in December 2016.
