I am not famous and this is not a crisis. I’ve simply wondered about this for years. Especially after hearing one of my favorite celebrities, who really helped me with their art, had gone into psychosis and left the public eye for months. I don’t care where this person specifically went, I’m curious what sort of facilities and resources the mega rich, mega famous generally turn to. How could one safely run a facility for them in a way where they can still be around the company of other patients?
I don’t think they can go to a normal one where the lower class could out all their shit to the celebrity gossip industry for cash. You can’t possibly relax when every other patient could destroy your life by airing your private issues. Maybe for the rest of their lives for petty reasons. Like them just trying to seem more interesting to other people by talking about having seen/talked to a famous person.
My partner’s grandma worked at a mental health/substance abuse clinic for the rich and famous. It’s like a spa with doctors, from what she said. They had some kind of system where people who really need privacy arrive in blacked out cars and get an entirely one on one experience.
I’m sure there’s plenty of clinics like that.

I did not finish the article because it reads as a tourism advertisement that overly romanticizes things. But this quote alone tells a striking short story of the terrible tragedy of being a billionare.
