Pete Davidson has reportedly entered into rehab for treatment.

The Saturday Night Live star is getting help after struggling with borderline personality disorder and PTSD.

“Pete regularly goes to rehab for ‘tune ups’ and to take a mental break, so that’s what’s happening,” a source told Page Six.

In 2017, when Pete was 23, his therapist diagnosed him with borderline personality disorder (BPD).

“I got diagnosed with BPD a few years ago, and I was always just so confused all the time, and just thought something was wrong, and didn’t know how to deal with it,” he said in a conversation with actress Glenn Close during Variety’s Actors On Acting.

He added: “Then, when somebody finally tells you, the weight of the world feels lifted off your shoulders. You feel so much better.”

Kim Kardashian’s ex is reportedly at the same rehab in Pennsylvania where his friend and fellow comedian, John Mulaney, was treated at.

Over the past few months, Pete has sparked romance rumours with actress Chase Sui Wonders.

In March, the two were in the same car when it crashed into a fire hydrant in a residential neighbourhood of Beverly Hills.

Neither was hurt in the accident.

Pete, 29, was reportedly behind the wheel of the Mercedes car, according to TMZ.

During the car ride, the vehicle hopped over a kerb and ran over a fire hydrant.

The vehicle eventually stopped before slamming into the side of a nearby house in Los Angeles.

At the crash site, skid marks and car parts appeared on the grassy lawn.

Earlier this month, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office charged the comic with one count of reckless driving, according to TMZ.

The homeowner of the involved property claimed his 16-year-old daughter was traumatised by the incident.

However, he went on to clarify that he had no issue with the Bupkis star and has not filed a lawsuit against him.
