The speculation that something was wrong with Catelynn began when the Teen Mom star and husband Tyler Baltierra, both 24, tweeted a variety of hints that Lowell was having problems.

“Please just pray for my wife,” pleaded Tyler. “For better or for worse… through sickness & in health… I will NEVER stop fighting for my wife. Keep her in your prayers… thank you.”

Moreover, Lowell revealed that she appreciates the support from her fans, revealing that she sometimes had dark times.

“You guys have NO CLUE on how much you lift me up sometimes,” wrote Catelynn in appreciation.

The duo have a 14-month-old baby girl, Novalee. Their 6-year-old daughter, Carly, was placed for adoption soon after her birth.

Lowell talked candidly on Teen Mom about her experiences with postpartum depression. Catelynn confessed that after Novalee was born, she felt moments of extreme darkness.

“It’s hard. I [didn’t] want to do anything,” recalled Lowell. “I [couldn’t] even emotionally or physically take care of my own self. I remember sitting in the bathtub and thinking, ‘I’m not waking up another day feeling like this.'”

Now, in an interview with MTV News, Catelynn shared that after battling depression and anxiety for so long that she has made the decision to go into a treatment facility in Arizona.

“I’m seeking help for myself and my family,” revealed Lowell. “Thank you to all of my supporters. My family and I would appreciate some privacy at this time.”

In response to speculation about the reason for Catelynn’s decision to enter treatment, Lowell also emphasized that the treatment will focus on mental health concerns rather than drug addiction. Catelynn tweeted that she is not in rehab.
