David Harbour’s Mental‑Health Remarks Resurface as 2022 Interview, Rep Clarifies

The actor’s previously published comments detail how intensive psychotherapy improved his bipolar management and underscore the value of pairing therapy with medication.

Overview

  • Entertainment Weekly corrected an initial report to note the quotes circulating online came from a 2022 interview, not a new piece on Future of Personal Health.
  • Harbour’s representative told EW he did not give that undated Future of Personal Health interview, which reused his earlier remarks.
  • Harbour has said he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 25 and has been in therapy since getting sober in 1999.
  • In the earlier comments, he said starting intensive psychotherapy made a “world of difference” and that he has not had a manic flare‑up since beginning psychoanalysis.
  • He described his manic episodes in detail and urged people to combine therapy with medication, recommending low‑ or no‑cost groups for those who cannot afford treatment.
