Following the call, police officers, paramedics and firefighters reportedly arrived at the address and remained there for nearly three hours.

Meanwhile, Page Six, citing an insider, reported that Presley checked himself into the rehab facility “this weekend” because “he knew he needed help.”

“He had not been doing well. He’s always suffered from a huge lack of self-esteem and had trouble accepting his real self and feeling fully confident in who he was as a person,” the source shared.

The insider further explained that “energetically, he didn’t seem like himself,” before adding that Presley “felt like he was lacking purpose in his life,” “hadn’t really found his place” and “didn’t really know where he wanted to go and what he wanted to do.”

Presley Gerber opened up about mental health struggles

Meanwhile, Presley had previously spoken openly about his mental health struggles.

Three years ago, in an interview with Rolling Stone, he said, “[Mental health] is an issue. It is such a big part of my life. It’s a 24/7 job, and there’s so much to it."

He added, "That’s really what I want to do: help people, whether you’re depressed, you’re struggling with something that is having a negative effect on your body. I mean it could be anything, and there’s no judgment.”

Presley had also started an Instagram series called ‘Mental Health Mondays’, where he reportedly mentioned, “It’s been incredible seeing how far that message has spread and how many people it’s helped. I’m proud that something I created has inspired others and started a bigger movement around openness and healing.”
