Tyler has been open about his struggles with depression and mental health, and this isn’t the first time he’s found relief and comfort in a creative project. In December 2018, a source told RadarOnline.com that the reality star is planning to release a self-help book. “He’s still struggling,” the insider said. “But writing is a big outlet of his. He’s in the midst of writing a self-help book for mental health that he wants to release in 2019.”
