In a posting on Tuesday on his Facebook page the 32-year-old
Ohio born musician and actor said he had been "living a lie."
"Yesterday I checked myself into rehab for depression and
suicidal urges. I am not at peace. I haven't been since you've
known me. If I didn't come here, I would've done something to
myself. I simply am a damaged human swimming in a pool of
emotions everyday of my life. There's a ragin' violent storm
inside of my heart at all times," he wrote.
"My anxiety and depression have ruled my life for as long as I
can remember and I never leave the house because of it," he
added.
Cudi has spoken in interviews in the past three years about his
struggles with depression and also with alcohol and drug
addiction.
His sixth album, "Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin'" was scheduled
for release in September but has not yet appeared.
As an actor Cudi has appeared in the movie "Entourage" and the
TV series "How to Make It in America."
