Raven-Symoné spoke about the significance of mental health amid Aaron Carter’s death.
Raven-Symoné Speaks On Importance Of Mental Health Following Aaron Carter’s Death
The pair are well aware of each other after having appeared on Disney shows during the earlier parts of their career. And after having found fame as a child, there was always a danger that things could have become overwhelming.
Aaron would go on to have issues with substance abuse, which ultimately led him to voluntarily entering rehab in order to win custody of his son Prince. But it would all be to no avail, as he was found dead in his bathtub after the house sitter had reportedly informed the authorities that someone may have drowned.
With that being said, Raven offered some warm words. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, she said: “We’re sending our love out to the family. We crossed circles multiple times within the music industry. My heart goes out to Nick. It’s such a tragedy.
“I think we really do need to get the world in order, so we can start focusing on mental health.” Mental health is something that Aaron was very vocal about. In 2019, he expanded on how he had been suffering from various conditions such as schizophrenia, anxiety, manic depression and a personality disorder.
Not only that, but this was accompanied by an admission that he had been taking prescription drugs, including Xanax. And it was clear that Aaron was looking for help since he was very open about his issues. In some prior comments at the time, he remarked: “This is my reality. Hi, I have nothing to hide.”
The fans on social media resonated with what Raven had to say. A certain subset of people felt there had to be measures in place, so that people could get help. One person wrote: “I do agree with @ravensymone on when will it be time to step up with mental health?”
