Aaron Carter was open about experiencing depression following his parents' divorce, but in a 2019 episode of "The Doctors," Carter revealed he'd been diagnosed with a host of mental health disorders. "The official diagnosis is that I suffer from multiple personality disorder, schizophrenia, acute anxiety, I'm manic depressive," he said. He went on to list the many medications he'd been given: "I'm prescribed Xanax, Seroquel, Gabapentin, Hydroxyzine, Trazedone, Omeprazen..."

Carter explained that during the few times he'd gone off his medications, he became severely depressed, and was plagued by suicidal thoughts. "I don't want to take 16 pills a day," Carter said, "but I have to." The star expressed his desire for help, saying his older brother Nick publicly pledged support but had not been there for him.

In 2017, Carter told Us Weekly he thought he'd be dead by age 30. Speaking about everything he'd been through in his life at that point, he said, "My goal is to be the phoenix that rises from the ashes. Because I've been burnt... I have been ashes before. So I want to make sure that I rise..." Tragically, Carter's initial prediction was chillingly close to accurate.
