Landon Barker gets candid about alcohol and mental health

Landon Barker shocked fans by opening up about his awful experience of struggling with alcohol abuse and mental health issues last year.

The son of Travis Barker said in an interview with People on Monday,

“It originally started with a bad habit with alcohol,”

The 20-year-old musician said that he had been suffering from depersonalization-derealization disorder for months and added,

“I was abusing it and just abusing that substance,”
“It was awful, and I went through heightened OCD, heightened ADHD and heightened anxiety, all while disassociating and feeling like I was in a video game.”

“I was watching my whole entire life through a movie screen. It was honestly awful.”

Barker opened up about his mental health struggles on social media in August of last year.

The Friends With Your Ex singer wrote on Instagram at the time,

“My derealization has been really bad and I just wanna come on here and tell everyone your [sic] not alone and we are all imperfect in our own ways,”

Mayo Clinic describes depersonalization-derealization disorder as causing people to feel as though their surroundings are not real and may make them feel disconnected from emotions and those around them.

How did alcohol affect Landon’s overall health?

The singer told the outlet that his struggles with the rare psychological disorder and subsequent alcohol abuse became a repetitive cycle.

He said,

“It kind of started with: I would drink, and then the day after, I would disassociate really bad, and that’s kind of how my habit of drinking a lot started. It was like, oh, I’d feel better the second that I had a drink, and so yeah, it kind of just all started and it all kicked up really fast.”

However, Landon admitted that he stopped drinking “around this time last year” after suffering a concussion.

He said,

“When I got my concussion, I kind of just had to deal with it and I would just, I don’t know, I just hated life for three or four months,”
“I remember I would just go to the hospital once a week just because I would have such bad panic attacks from everything that was going on.”

In August 2022, Landon hinted at being in the hospital when he shared an image of his medical bracelet. Currently, the Death of California singer said that he only drinks alcohol in moderation.

He said,

”I think 100 percent it’s important for me to not make that a habit again,”
“I always tell myself, ‘I’ll only drink on special occasions now.’ I just steer away from everything.”
