Lloyd’s mother Lisa revealed her son’s struggles with the mental disorder last year, and said the actor attacked her several months earlier after failing to take his medication.

The 27-year-old actor was charged last northern summer with reckless driving, failure to stop and driving without a driver’s licence after he eventually crashed through a fence.
