Aaron Carter revealed in an interview on The Doctors , which is set to air later this week, that he has been diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, manic depression, and acute anxiety, reported The Daily Mail .
In a clip of the two-part interview, the former child star is seen with a plastic bag of prescription medication, all prescribed to combat his mental illnesses. Holding up the bag for everyone to see, the 31-year-old says he has nothing to hide. Among the prescriptions are Xanax, omeprazole, and hydroxyzine.
During the show, the singer also takes a drug test to prove to doctors that he’s sober after admitting that he used opioids after a dental procedure.
“I haven’t taken any opioids. Oh no, no, no, I did! It’s because I got my teeth done. I got six crowns!”
The past month has been a difficult one for the “I Want Candy” artist, who was seen purchasing two new Smith & Wesson assault rifles last week at Rick’s Pawn Shop in Lancaster, California. He had also purchased a 9mm handgun and two other assault rifles a couple of weeks prior to buying the original assault rifles.
As previously reported by The Inquisitr , Aaron was also accused of flipping rescue dogs from profit last month, despite negating these claims. A video began circulating on social media that allegedly showed the singer offering his recently acquired rescue dog for cash. In the video, he can be heard saying that a bulldog he recently got from the pound is now available for purchase.

In addition to the rescue dog incident, Aaron supposedly went through a violent breakup with his ex-girlfriend, Lina Valentina, which led to a restraining order, reported TMZ . According to the publication, police paid the singer a welfare visit in early August when he revealed that Lina had slapped him and left a bruise on his face. Showing police photos of the injury, Aaron made a formal complaint.
The reason for the welfare check was a call from a concerned family member who was worried that Aaron was going to take his own life or hurt someone else and/or overdose on drugs.
Despite his various diagnoses, Aaron claims that his mental stability is perfectly fine, wrote The Daily Mail .
“On a scale of one to 10, what’s my mental stability? 100,000. Infinite! Because throughout my 20s I went through bankruptcy, I went through being broke four times, I went through losing my sister, I went through so many different mental… and now [I’m on the other side of that].”
