Sean Andrew has been open about his struggles with depression, which left him suicidal at one point. His childhood experiences have left him traumatized, and he has spoken publicly about the impact of losing his maternal grandfather at the age of 13.

According to Sean, his grandfather was his rock and best friend, and his death sent him into a dark place. He has spoken about feeling paranoid and alone after his grandfather's passing, and how he was bullied and almost kidnapped as a child.

"When I lost my maternal grandfather when I was 13 years old, I went through depression and it got so bad that I wanted to take my life at some point," Sean said.

Sean has also spoken about his mental health condition, stating that it is currently "critical but stable." He has ruled out having children of his own, saying, "I just haven’t had that interest, I’ve been told ‘never say never’ but kids are not in my program, sorry."

Sean took to Instagram recently, asking his fans to ask him serious questions, and he has been sharing his responses on the platform.
