Steve-O: Back in Mental Institution

July 7, 2008

Wild man Steve-O is back in the “looney bin” according to his blog on his Myspace page posted last Thursday.

He writes, “I’ve now been clean for 115 days, and I’m, again, in a mental institution. I did so much cocaine, ketamine, pcp, nitrous oxide, and all sorts of other drugs, that, quite simply, my brain is f***ed up.

As you can probably tell by the way I’m writing this, my cognitive skills are alright, but, I frequently suffer from horrible mood swings and severe depression.”

He was hospitalized at L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in the mental health unit in March and writes that the “medication that is prescribed to me doesn’t do the trick every day.”

“I’m back in the looney bin trying to get that s**t right. The bottom line is that doing drugs f***ed my a** up and I’m going to be paying for it for a long time, probably for the rest of my life.

Everyone’s going to make their own decisions in life, but nobody needs to make the same mistakes I made.”

Steve-O was ordered to attend rehab for two years to avoid jail after pleading guilty to felony cocaine possession charges in June.
