This is not Rain’s first brush with mental health, either; the YouTuber has been open about his struggles with depression in the past, admitting that he had a major mental breakdown in April of 2018 that prompted him to check himself into a mental health facility.
“Some shit happened, I’m not going to lie,” Rain explained in a video in July 2018. “Self-harm shit. Ended up in a hospital for a few days, and then I ended up in a psych ward.”
While both Rain and the official FaZe Clan Twitter have yet to provide concrete updates as to his condition, fans are continuing to showcase their support as he receives treatment in private.
