Jake Lloyd completes mental health treatment and enters recovery
Jake Lloyd, known for his role as young Anakin Skywalker in "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace," has completed an 18-month stay in a mental health facility. He is now in recovery and feeling "pretty good." Lloyd, diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2008, experienced a psychotic break in March 2023. His mother clarified that his mental health issues, not the film's reception, led to his struggles and departure from acting. Now receiving outpatient care, Lloyd emphasizes the importance of his treatment and support from fans. He believes hitting "rock bottom" was necessary for him to seek help and stabilize his condition.
