Jared Padalecki is opening up about his personal mental health journey.
The Gilmore Girls alum shared that he checked into a clinic in 2015 after struggling with suicidal ideation.
“I had a really low moment,” Jared recalled during the June 25 episode of Tommy DiDario‘s I’ve Never Said This Before podcast, per People. “I was letting my thoughts take over and going to places of dramatic suicidal ideation.”
After opening up to wife Genevieve Padelecki—whom he married in 2010—about how he was feeling, the 41-year-old said she instructed him to “get home” so he could receive the professional help he needed.
“I got home, went to a clinic for a couple weeks and looked into it and haven’t been suicidal since,” Jared continued, “not for a moment.”
As for what contributed to his mental state? Jared shared that he partly “needed a reset” after dealing with the downsides of Hollywood for over a decade.
