Presley Gerber Opens Up About Mental Health Struggles In Heartfelt Instagram Post

Presley Gerber Speaks Out About Mental Health

Presley Gerber, the 26-year-old son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, is breaking down barriers with an open dialogue about his mental health. Taking to Instagram, Presley shared one of his most revealing posts yet, detailing his struggles with medications and his journey through uncertainty.

“Here's some clarity for ya – the truth will set you free (hopefully) haha,” he wrote, adding a touch of humor to a serious note. Emphasizing the importance of honesty, he documented his current medication regimen, which includes one milligram of Buprenorphine twice daily, variable doses of benzodiazepines, and Xanax for severe panic attacks.

“The thing that scares me are the things you need to take… if you don't take them, something not good happens.”

Navigating the Hollywood Scene

Presley, stepping away from the glitz of Hollywood for his well-being, continues to be candid with his followers. In his post, he revealed he is also prescribed Valium, albeit uncertain about the dosage, and recently upped his Mirtazapine intake to manage his night terrors with Prazosin. “Unfortunately, I've had a lot of loss in many different forms recently,” he admitted, acknowledging that these experiences have significantly impacted his current state.

The son of the renowned Crawford-Gerber duo expressed his mounting frustrations with the lack of consistent medical advice. "Every psychiatrist I’ve had, and I’ve had 15, are like, ‘Here’s 20 medications and take this if you feel like this…’ And I’m like, ‘No, don’t give me that much leeway. I need some direction,’” he explained, highlighting the fear and confusion this inconsistency breeds.

Charting a New Course

Presley is taking strategic steps to safeguard his progress. “I’ve grown up in Hollywood, and there’s a lot of people around me that I love to death, but right now I try not to be around them,” he stated, emphasizing his commitment to his health and recovery. Buprenorphine, benzos like Xanax and Valium, and other medications are part of his stabilization process, yet he remains hopeful that a combination of research, faith, and support from medical professionals will help him navigate this complex journey.
