Patrick J. Adams Discusses Alcohol and Mental Health Struggles That Led to 'Suits' Exit

The actor revealed his decision to leave the show after seven seasons was driven by personal challenges and a desire to prioritize his family and well-being.

Patrick J. Adams shared that his departure from 'Suits' was influenced by struggles with alcohol abuse and depression during the show's seventh season.
Adams described feeling unfulfilled and noted that his drinking affected his relationships and his ability to be a present father.
The actor emphasized that quitting alcohol was a turning point, allowing him to focus on his mental health, marriage, and parenting.
He acknowledged that staying on the show beyond season seven would have been motivated solely by financial reasons, which he ultimately chose to forgo.
'Suits' has seen renewed popularity on streaming platforms, and a spin-off series, 'Suits: LA,' is set to premiere in February 2025, though Adams is not currently involved.
