Pete Davidson Drugs Abuse And Mental Health Issues

Pete Davidson initially disclosed his diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD) during an interview with Marc Maron. Since then, Pete has frequently commented on what it is like to live with BPD.

At age 17 or 18, Davidson was treated for his Crohn’s disease, for which he got intravenous biologic therapy and took marijuana for medical reasons and later for recreational purposes.

Fear of being rejected or abandoned is one of BPD’s nine hallmark symptoms. Those with BPD may purposefully or accidentally be deceptive and manipulative to achieve their aims.

Pete was just seven years old when his father, a New York firefighter, perished in the 9/11 attacks. Intense childhood trauma frequently contributes to the development of personality disorders in adulthood. Pete has stated in therapy that the loss of his father at a young age has caused him to develop a phobia of abandonment.

Trust issues are especially widespread among BPD patients. In 2017, when speaking with Marc Maron, Pete emphasized the importance of trust to him. One day he was with his father, and the next day he was not there. Sometimes he would struggle when his mother would say that she was leaving. He further mentioned that w When people say they are going and then returning back, he becomes extremely anxious, as if they won’t return.

Pete has indicated that he has concurrent struggles with depression. BPD is frequently accompanied by symptoms and diagnoses of severe depression. An important distinction between a mood spectrum disorder and a personality disorder is that persons who suffer from a personality disorder have persistent and regular long-term problems with behavior patterns. 

Mood illnesses, including bipolar disorder, tend to emerge in bouts. With a personality disorder, it can be difficult to discern which aspects of a person’s actions, views, and statements are the consequence of their disorder and which are their own.

Marsha Linehan, a specialist in BPD, devised dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). DBT is regarded as the benchmark for the treatment of BPD.

This type of therapy concentrates on teaching skills that can be utilized in everyday life. Typical areas of emphasis include:

• Mindfulness
• Emotional management
• Stress tolerance and prevention
• Personal relationships.

Pete has reported difficulty implementing DBT techniques. He did note that he has discovered some of the strategies to be effective in times of crisis when he was able to apply them.

Borderline rage, often known as uncontrollable anger, is a prominent indicator that a person may be coping with BPD. There are suggestions that borderline disorder is diagnosed far more frequently in women than in men since the majority of men with the condition may be jailed for performing violent acts. Women with  BPD are known to behave violently. Keeping this in mind, women with BPD are frequently more prone to self-harm and to direct their aggression and emotions of self-loathing inward rather than outward. As with other diseases, this varies greatly across individuals.

Although Pete Davidson has been associated with heroin and cocaine abuse, he has neither confirmed it nor rejected these allegations.

Pete Davidson has recounted having “rage blackouts,” which he first attributed to his marijuana use. He has been cited as saying that he began experiencing mental breakdowns that made him want to panic. Rage. And then forget what transpired thereafter. 

Later, he would recall it in images, as if recalling it in a fog. He wouldn’t realize what occurred until he broke something or “came to.” In addition, he stated that he suspected marijuana was the cause. He never used any other medicines. He also attended marijuana therapy.
