Jax Taylor is taking time for himself and seeking inpatient treatment for mental health issues – this amid his ongoing separation from his wife Brittany Cartwright … TMZ has discovered.
A rep for the “The Valley” star and former “Vanderpump Rules” contestant tells Us… “Jax has always been open about his mental health struggles, especially in recent months on his podcast.”
They add… “He has made the decision to seek hospital treatment. This is a particularly difficult time for him and his family. They ask for privacy and respect until he is ready to speak further about this matter.”
Now, this might not be all that surprising: On Monday, Jax posted a photo to his Instagram Stories with the caption, “Healing.” The post also featured two books… one titled “Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life” and the other “Set Boundaries, Find Peace.”
Of course… we all know that Jax is currently going through a very public breakup with Brittany. The two have been together romantically for nearly a decade — and lately, things have been a little rocky between them.
As we reported… the couple started living separately from each other with Brittany living out of their martial home. Our sources told us at the time that JT and BC are still on the outs after fighting a lot last year… which ultimately ended with them splitting.

Our cameraman recently caught Jax at LAX… and he told us that with everything going on in his life right now, the the only thing that occupies your mind is your family — because he hasn’t seen them in weeks due to work events. That may be what’s at play here with his treatment.
