In 2017, the comedian revealed that he had been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder after years of battling depression and anxiety. He also previously sought treatment in 2016. During a “Weekend Update” segment on SNL in December, he seemingly hinted that he’d be seeking treatment again. “I’m going on a little ‘vacation.’ You know, the kind of vacation where insurance pays for some of it, and they take your phone and shoelaces,” he said. “And you have roommates but it stills costs like, $100,000.” Up next, Davidson will debut his own Netflix original comedy special, Alive from New York, on Feb. 25.
