Joe Jonas Gives Details on Going to Therapy During 'Dark' Time in His Life
Joe Jonas is opening up about his mental health journey.
The 35-year-old musician recently gave details about the benefits of seeking professional help while going through a “dark” time in his life.
“It’s been something that I realized I did need. Somebody was like, have you ever just thought about talking to somebody? And I was like, ‘Me? I’m great. Why would I need to speak to a professional? I’m like, I talk to my friends about this. What are you talking about? I go to the gym and sweat it out. I’m fine.’ So yeah, I have a therapist. I love it,” he said on the “TalkShopLive” podcast.
The “Burnin’ Up” singer also discussed the need for a community during times of deep struggle.

“And I think it’s also just like, especially this month, it’s so important to speak to friends. I was reading, recently, statistics on the amount of men that are suicidal that don’t speak to people, and it’s so sad and as simple as it is just being there for somebody and having a conversation and reaching out. I think it’s so easy to just be like, ‘They’re probably fine.’ When really it’s like, just send a text, call, go drive five more minutes or take that flight to visit them. It’s so important,” he added.
He then talked about how his daughters, 4-year-old Willa and 2-year-old Delphine, motivated him to be the best version of himself.
“I did the work, but also doing the work on yourself, and looking at yourself in the mirror, and being like, ‘I gotta be good to myself, I got to take care of myself.’ Being a dad and being like, I got to take more care of myself so I can take care of them and be that example,” he said.
If you didn’t see, Joe also recently opened up about his dating life following his divorce from Sophie Turner.
