\n\tA resurfaced video of former Nickelodeon<\/a> child star Tylor Chase, who played Martin Qwerly on Ned\u2019s Declassified School Survival Guide, has fans heartbroken \u2014 and asking why getting mental health<\/a> help is still so hard, especially in the wake of Rob Reiner and Michelle Reiner\u2019s deaths.<\/a> <\/p>\n

\n\tIn the clip, filmed in Riverside, California and first shared on TikTok in September, a passerby asks the 36-year-old if he was on Disney Channel. Chase, who appears disheveled and holds up his jeans while he talks, answers \u201cNickelodeon,\u201d says he was on Ned\u2019s Declassified School Survival Guide and gives his full name. Viewers on X and TikTok called the video \u201cheartbreaking\u201d and \u201cso sad,\u201d and some said they felt uncomfortable seeing a camera in his face.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter the clip went viral, TikToker Citlalli Wilson launched a GoFundMe to help with basics like food and clothing. The fundraiser reportedly raised just over $1,200 before Chase\u2019s mother asked that it be shut down<\/a>. In messages shared by multiple outlets, she said her son lives with bipolar disorder<\/a>, struggles to keep phones or manage money, and \u201cneeds medical attention, not money,\u201d adding that cash alone would not keep him safe or on his medication.<\/p>\n

\n\tChase\u2019s former co-stars Devon Werkheiser, Lindsey Shaw and Daniel Curtis Lee also addressed the video on their Ned\u2019s Declassified Podcast Survival Guide. Lee said his first reaction was anger toward the people filming Chase and, later, frustration that he felt \u201cpowerless\u201d to help. Shaw, who has spoken publicly about her own past addiction<\/a>, told listeners, \u201cI\u2019ve been somebody like that,\u201d per New York Post.<\/a> Werkheiser added that the group hopes to help Chase get onto a better path but that a podcast appearance is not what he needs right now.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor many readers, the story echoes another painful headline: ongoing coverage of Rob and Michele Reiner\u2019s son, Nick<\/a>, and his long history of mental health and addiction struggles<\/a>. A former family yoga instructor recently described years of volatility and said that even with extensive resources and effort, it was \u201cbeyond any of us\u201d<\/a> to fully stabilize the situation. That kind of account is part of what makes Chase\u2019s mother\u2019s comments \u2014 that he needs medical care he won\u2019t accept \u2014 so hard to read.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe system itself still has gaps. BetterHelp\u2019s 2025 State of Stigma report<\/a> found that 37% of Gen Z respondents view seeking counseling as a sign of being \u201cmentally weak,\u201d even as their generation reports some of the highest rates of anxiety and depression. Cost, waitlists, provider shortages and a lack of trust in therapists all show up as major barriers, especially for young adults.<\/p>\n

\n\tThere\u2019s also the legal reality: once someone is an adult, loved ones often cannot force them into treatment unless they meet strict criteria for being an immediate danger to themselves or others. Families can raise money, call hotlines, go to appointments and still watch them refuse medication or talk their way out of inpatient care \u2014 exactly what Chase\u2019s mother describes when she says medical support, not donations, is what her son needs, but that he rejects it.<\/p>\n

\n\tI\u2019ve seen a version of that up close. Earlier this year, a close friend of mine experienced what appeared to be a first manic episode that progressed into full-blown psychosis. For months, my friends and I tried to get him evaluated, but he either refused or presented a calmer \u201csmooth\u201d version of himself to doctors, saying the right things to avoid being held. As an adult, he could decline medication. He lost his fianc\u00e9e, the full-time job he loved \u2014 and the health insurance that came with it \u2014 and eventually went off the grid. It\u2019s devastating to watch someone bright and kind disappear behind an illness you can\u2019t force them to treat \u2014\u00a0especially when their illness has them convinced that they don\u2019t need treatment in the first place.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat\u2019s the backdrop for the grief and anger showing up under Chase\u2019s video. In replies, users repeatedly raise two themes: whether it was appropriate to record Chase \u201cat his worst\u201d and post the footage, and how the entertainment industry has treated former child stars<\/a> and their mental health. Many also ask what kind of care is realistically available when someone is struggling, beyond a short burst of viral attention \u2014\u00a0and how to get it to those who need it most.<\/p>\n
