Scott Stapp Speaks Out on the Mystery Diagnosis that Saved His Life | Oz Celebrity

[@MKF30]

Hes very lucky to have a family and a beautiful wife no less to support him. Alot of people have to battle these things anxiety, depression, bipolar etc alone....

[@AnonymousanonymousA]

Medical upcoding of biofilm infections. And he a rich singer , possible actor possible saturn worshipper possible drug user I'd guess one of the last 3?

[@MKF30]

Yeah the rich part definitely helps. I forgot about the money part.

[@tonykumar9727]

And able to afford a psychiatric too does help when he is well known and rich

[@MKF30]

@@tonykumar9727 Yup. Money always helps everything. Most can get one but to get a good one is where the money matters for sure.

[@valerieking5265]

Today is 09/14/24, I just found out that Scott and his wife of 18 years are divorcing; so sad.

[@stevestarr6395]

Thankful you got the help you needed Scott! Prayers going up that you continue to do well. 🙏🏽

[@stephaniekronewitter3574]

So proud of you Scott in your journey! Also, THANK YOU for not being scared in letting others know and in our your disgnosis. Its so important in our society that we make words like bipolar, ptsd, and so many other ones a common thing to talk about. The more we break the stigma the more people we can reach that might be suffering in silence. ❤️

[@bebecabs]

so so happy that you are on your road to recovery -- how I wish other guys who opted to take their lives received this type of love, understanding and support. I am so happy that in this interview, spiritual aspects are acknowledged to be vital in recovery.

[@Samantha-xr4mx]

So proud of you Scott. You did the work. I hope you've found piece. You are a wonderful human, you are incredibly talented, you have a great family. Proud of you ❤❤

[@chrisrutherfurd9338]

I self medicated for almost 10 years to deal with anxiety and depression. Everyone pushed me away, family included. I finally went to a therapist and have found a relief in the same way.

[@tracygusman3003]

Sending love and prayers to Scott & he's beautiful family no harm comes to Scott or his family again I understand Scott's pain & his fears because I know firsthand what it's like to have to deal with such a horrible mental illness god bless you Scott forever in my prayers!!!!' ~ ♥️🙏🏼♥️ ~

[@generic53]

I wish this guy would continue to record in the Country genre. His rendition of Going, Going, Gone is something to hear.

[@miamendez2878]

I have been in complete remission from bipolar disorder for 6 years without medication thanks to ketogenic therapy. Happy Scott found help and made it through

[@emilyrowlaner2618]

Not a thing lol

[@KatherineMerceClay]

There is a forgotten demographic in the country and I think Creed’s music reached them (in the 90’s and now) and I’m certain prevented millions of suicides. On a more personal level I worked for Wind-Up Records in 2000, and when Alan Meltzer, the founder of the label was alive, he would be so proud of Scott & his boys he’d be in tears. I miss you Alan. And Scott you’re amazing.

[@mikeweaver238]

Bipolar causes panic attacks and depression. All of these things can start in childhood. See his life story and you will understand. BTW, how many of you making these negative comments were thrust into the spotlight in your early 20’s ??? If you weren’t, you have nothing educated to say.

[@ronniecoffey9945]

God is so Good !

[@ronniecoffey9945]

It's Called Living Amends ❤✝️🔥

[@dawg3232]

So happy he and his wife are doing great.

[@valerieking5265]

@dwang3232, unfortunately now, I just read an article that they are divorcing after 18 yrs.

[@constancesmith3803]

My son went through this withdrawal..he thought someone was trying to steal from him..

[@AllthingsFoodieTX]

I thought these were new until I googled what season he’s on now 😅

[@rollakosta6554]

God bless ❤ 🙏

[@mikedunker7354]

really love your music

[@unboundfull]

Yes! Lost Sheep Found! Thank you and I love you Jesus.

[@AnonymousanonymousA]

Talk about the USA300 airborne pandemic that was discovered in NYC in 2009.

[@SRocco-dv8we]

He’s channeling Mike the situation from NJ shore ! 😂

[@dianesolkah6896]

This is so sad.

[@dustygatrell-ru7tg]

Goes to show money doesent make you happy. Some rich people are the most miserable people in the world on the inside.

[@faithfamilyandfuntech5062]

When I heard what's this life for and heard him speak of God as one King and then use GD in same song I knew something was wrong how it took decades for someone to get him help

[@Justfor2day10]

🙄

[@cranlylee3836]

Your music meant more to me then anything. It was up- lifting and beautiful Scott. I believe that the j---s did that to you and I hope you and your family are healthy and strong. The World needs songs like yours and your an inspiration and revelation to us all. God bless and good luck.

[@Jesus-Christ77711]

I believe he had handlers that changed the narrative. What I believe really happened is not being addressed like his wifes connections he talked about previously.

[@NikonD3fan]

So Scott finally gets life together, his mind right and his career on an all time high, and Jacklyn leaves him. What a POS!

[@tenma4]

Yeah, I had a hard time with similar thoughts about them too. Ultimately, it's their business...but from the outside, it looks pretty sucky that she checked out of their marriage when she did. Only they know what it looks like from the inside. As a long time Creed & Scott Stapp fan, I'd just like to see the guy keep it right with the Lord, and his life in order permanently.

[@jason1040us]

Big fan of Scott and Creed! With all of the extreme delusions, hallucinations, and paranoia that Scott exhibited in his behavior this definitely sounds more like schizophrenia than bipolar. I think society is less judgmental when you tell them you are bipolar versus schizophrenic. When people think of schizophrenics they think of the ultimate insane person in a white straight jacket chained to a wall somewhere. It was probably in the best interest of public relations for Scott and Creed to maintain a certain image for the fan base. I have bipolar and some of the symptoms do overlap, but the extreme nature of his hallucinations with paranoia is definitely advanced schizophrenia, hard to believe he has a doctor on here passing this off as bipolar, anyone with any education in this field would question this diagnosis.

[@emilie5221]

You are right. However there exist a combination, schizo- affective disorder. Its being bipolar with hallicunations/delusions. Sounds like he could have this type.

[@vaportrails7943]

Bipolar is a questionable thing. What happened to him can very easily be explained by the massive amounts of drugs and alcohol he was taking, in combination, for years. When you are that strung out, you can get totally detached from reality. If he is totally, 100% long term sober and still having issues, ok. But until that is cleared out, I don’t think psychiatric diagnosis is even possible. When he’s sober, he seems totally normal.

[@emilyrowlaner2618]

I’ll never understand why uninformed people share their opinions lol

[@davidmacgown321]

It's a good thing he moved his family out of Florida. That's not a good place to be if you're an addict.

[@reginakidscape4916]

Once the obsession and craving has been lifted we can live anywhere….

[@colin_sean]

Dude that’s not someone genuinely “asking for help”. That’s called “stimulant psychosis” and presents similarly to Paranoid schizophrenia. He wasn’t thinking of his wife, he was too worried about the helicopter that’s been chasing him for 7 weeks and mind reading squirrel in the tree across the street. The only remarkable thing is that he stayed sober once they took off his restraints.

[@SRocco-dv8we]

Looks like he found gas money ? lol 😂. Nahhhh seriously respect the dude 😊

[@ThatsMyBlackOpinion]

Anyone think the wife is jealous of or intimidated by the doctor?

[@willmitchell6521]

Damn! Scott has hot wife and hot therapist. Love the family PR pic all dressed in white wash.

[@RichFromQueensNY]

He got so lucky with a wife who could easily have left him but all the s*** that he put it through and the family. I'm guessing she was a true believer in God and their relationship shows you you can turn stuff around. But they still never said what was the core of what causes it most of the time it's either genetic or a combination of genetic and environmental the way you were brought up. Would benefit people if they actually said.

[@AnonymousanonymousA]

Biofilm infections cause chest pain and plaque? And 1 day on a psych facility can cost YOU tax payers minimum $1,500 a day per patient even if they have private insurance the insurance company forwards the bill to Medicaid/Medicare under Welfare. Now to see how much in kickbacks his Charity raises for his performance if that was the case?

[@dennistoadvine9672]

You got a problem. He is taking care of himself and his family.

[@AnonymousanonymousA]

Looooool guy worship saturn too, lol?

[@dustygatrell-ru7tg]

What's saturn?

[@USNewsNow1]

Seek the Lord Scott. Read the bible, find our Father in Heaven. Look to the Lord, your Savior Jesus Christ!!! And Scott...Do Christian music!!!

[@cherylsharp9608]

To all bs!

[@AnonymousanonymousA]

Medical Gaslighting, Medical Upcoding, a real actor propagandizing, expose them!!!!!

[@dustygatrell-ru7tg]

What do you mean

[@AnonymousanonymousA]

who was chasing him? maybe it was a brain infection?

[@SaltyWarPig]

90s kids who grew up on Creed, like me, are having meltdowns right now over how unintentionally gay this whole cringe interview is

[@jiayouchinese]

Because to you, living a normal life is "gay"

[@lya7498]

It's not gay, it's about his fight with depression! Bi polar is depression.

[@emilie5221]

😂 gay may not be the best term in this woke area..but I think I get what you mean

[@AnonymousanonymousA]

*Pseudoscience!!* the professional actor is either playing a role, was on psychadelic mushrooms, lsd, or marijuana edibles.

[@dennistoadvine9672]

Actor. No. Someone who knows himself. Back off.
