After a 'psychotic break' in 2023, Lloyd spent 18 months in a mental health rehab facility, and is now living in a new rehab center where he can come and go as he pleases.
Lloyd struggled for years to accept his schizophrenia diagnosis due to anosognosia, a neurological condition where the brain can't recognize its own health issues, but has now embraced treatment and medication.
