Former child actor Jake Lloyd, known for his role as young Anakin Skywalker in 1999's 'Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace,' recently shared a positive update on his mental health journey. After being diagnosed with schizophrenia, Lloyd, now 35, completed an 18-month stay at an inpatient mental health facility in Southern California.
Lloyd's mother, Lisa, revealed that he entered treatment following a 'full-blown psychotic break' in March 2023. Currently residing in a new rehabilitation center, Lloyd continues to receive treatment while having the freedom to come and go as he pleases. In a conversation, Lloyd expressed feeling 'pretty good' and acknowledged the importance of ongoing treatment, therapy, and medication.
