Jake Lloyd in Recovery at Mental Health Facility, Mother Reveals

The 'Star Wars' actor's struggles with paranoid schizophrenia are genetic, not related to his film role.

Jake Lloyd, known for his role as young Anakin Skywalker in 'Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace,' is currently in a mental health facility following a psychotic break.
Lloyd's mother, Lisa, has shared that his mental health issues, including paranoid schizophrenia, are believed to be genetic and not caused by his 'Star Wars' role.
Despite stepping away from acting and facing significant mental health challenges, Jake Lloyd remains a passionate fan of the 'Star Wars' franchise.
Lloyd is about 10 months into an 18-month stay at a mental health rehabilitation facility, showing signs of improvement according to his mother.
The actor's struggles began in high school, with symptoms worsening over time, leading to a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia and anosognosia.
