What Illness Did Josh Seiter Have Before His Death?
Prior to his death, Seiter was working as a model. Seiter participated in The Bachelorette’s eleventh season in 2015. The first week, he was dismissed. In a June interview, he came out as bi. He told:
“I believe my upbringing, in the homeschooled Christian niche that we were brought up in, stayed with me, both consciously and unconsciously, for years after leaving home for college, I always knew as an early teen I was different s*xually, I just don’t think I had the vocabulary to articulate what the difference was.”
He had been upfront about his mental health difficulties. In 2021, he posted on social media that he had attempted suicide once and that he had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
