“It’s called a manic episode,” he told the publication.

“Bringing it up is a bit of a risk, to rehash old wounds, but if I can verbalise it in a way that can not only help people but explain to people what I went through and where I am now, that will be a positive outcome for me,” he said.

“But it does feel good to give some air and tell people my story.”
