Travis Barker’s son Landon opens up about his mental health struggles

Travis Barker’s son Landon has opened up about his mental health struggles in a new interview.

The 20-year-old, who is dating TikTok star Charli D’Amelio, revealed in a new interview that he suffers from derealisation, depression, ADHD and OCD.

Speaking to PEOPLE, the singer said his mental health took a toll last year when the “disassociating and dissociation kind of just hit me like a truck”.

The singer 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.”

“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.”

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

“I always love to spread awareness about suicide and talk about it.”

Landon, whose dad Travis is expecting a baby with his new wife Kourtney Kardashian, revealed he has “learned to deal with [his] anxiety, OCD, ADHD and depression”.

He admitted: “Honestly, I was a little bit too scared to start medication.”

“I just know how I get just having kind of an addictive personality, and I feel like I would be too scared to put myself in a dependent situation where I must use something every single day.”

Praising his step-mother Kourtney, Landon said: “She’s great. She’s super supportive as well, and brings a lot of love and support to me and my siblings.”
