The more I've watched his saga unfold I think he is definitely bipolar, has certain personality disorder traits, may have some schizophrenia in there as well.
Add in God knows what kind of substances to the mix and... well... You get X-Factor.
He's like watching a slow motion train wreck. I'm honestly surprised he isn't dead.
He needs to get help, and stick with it. He needs to kill the whole X-Factor persona and just be Ty.
I hope he finds peace, and proper treatment for his issues. [Reply]

All of this everytime I see this thread I expect the worst. I don't know him and don't care about his persona but can't "enjoy" his struggles. I hope he gets help and moves forward in his life. He reminds me too much of my brother in law and it's kind of gross in the parallels. [Reply]

I know Ty, he's been enabled much of his life. For those who wish for him to seek help, he always reverts back to what you see. [Reply]

Yeah I assumed that, its what reminds me of my brother in law. His vice is alcohol, beer if you can believe that! Every time he gets help he will revert and screw someone over. Normally me, addiction is a bitch. [Reply]

He claims to have bipolar disorder, who knows what else he has besides.
Last year he did some jail time and when he got out he seemed to be doing well. He posted about how he was clean, in treatment, taking his meds, going to church, living with family out in Kansas. He said that he would leave X-factor in the past.
This week he starts talking about bringing X-factor back, driving 140mph on the highway, posting bizarre things, he's obviously using again. In the last video you can hear the cops pulling him out of his car and asking him why he isn't wearing any pants.
It seems like his life is a cycle that repeats over and over. Sometimes he seems to be doing better, but Xfactor is Mr Hyde.
