Pete Davidson checks into wellness facility for his mental health

Pete Davidson has checked himself into a wellness facility for his mental health.

The 30-year-old comedian is taking some out of his career in order to focus on his mental wellbeing, People reports.

Pete has always considered his mental health to be "a priority" for him and he's now decided to check into a facility, after performing more than 200 stand-up shows across the US.

The Saturday Night Live star has also appeared in a host of big-budget movies in recent years, such as The Suicide Squad and The King of Staten Island.

Pete has been very open about his sobriety journey, too, while he's also received treatment for borderline personality disorder.

The actor - who has previously dated the likes of Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande and Kaia Gerber - underwent treatment for borderline personality disorder last year.

A source told People at the time: "Pete will often check himself into rehab to work on these issues. His friends and family have been supportive during this time."

Meanwhile, Pete previously admitted that it feels "weird being happy".

The Hollywood star has struggled with his mental health for years, and Pete confessed that he "lived in discomfort for so long".

The actor said on the Real Ones With Jon Bernthal podcast: "The only thing you can control is who you have around you, what you put your energy in to, who loves you, and who you love back.

"It's a weird thing for me to even grasp now because I've lived in discomfort for so long where that became comfortable.

"So now I actually have people around me now that love me, and it's weird. That's a whole new thing I never thought of. It's weird being happy."
