Zach Bryan Opens Up on Mental Health Struggles

Singer Zach Bryan has bravely detailed his personal battle with mental health, revealing his struggles with anxiety and a toxic relationship with alcohol. The musician shared that a tumultuous year, filled with public controversies and significant personal hardships such as a friend's severe mental health crisis and another's coma from a motorcycle accident, prompted him to re-evaluate his coping mechanisms.

Seeking clarity, Bryan spent 20 days traveling by motorcycle, an experience that culminated in a realization in a Seattle parking lot: he needed professional help. He acknowledged the subconscious effects of his decade in the military followed by sudden fame, which left him in a state of perpetual discontent. He found solace and a path forward through therapy and has abstained from alcohol for nearly two months.

With the support of his family and his new girlfriend, Samantha Leonard, Bryan is now prioritizing his health and future, including conversations about starting a family. He expressed feeling whole and content, encouraging others to seek help if they are struggling, emphasizing that it is okay to show vulnerability and ask for support.
