Alec Baldwin’s health struggles have worsened, according to his wife, Hilaria Baldwin’s latest update. The actor is seen battling mental health issues in his family’s reality series. However, things went from bad to worse for the Hollywood star after an accidental shooting on the set of his film “Rust” led to criminal charges being filed against him.
On the show, Hilaria Baldwin tells the camera that in the days leading up to Alec Baldwin‘s “Rust” trial, his mental health state had gotten much “worse.” Alec has been diagnosed with OCD in the past. He’s also said to be dealing with PTSD following the shooting. Hilaria opened up about her husband’s condition, revealing how the need for control can sometimes take over his life.
“He wants the shoes lined up a certain way and the toys over here and this stacked on top of here. And you see the rituals that people who have OCD that they actually have to re-put these things in a certain way,” she said (via Saloon).

“A lot of the ways that he tries to control and the way that he behaves has to do with his OCD… Since Alec’s trial in New Mexico is coming up, it has become so much worse,” Hilaria added. “Everybody that has been close to Alec has seen his mental health decline.”
Of course, Alec’s trial was eventually dismissed and the manslaughter charges against him were dropped. Upon finding out that the case was dropped, the actor was seen weeping alongside his wife as the emotions came flooding in and he couldn’t control the floodgates.
In the past, Alec Baldwin has credited Howie Mandel for helping publicly start conversations about OCD. Now, he’s doing that himself on his family’s reality TV series. Although his story is different and there are some very dramatic elements to it, he’s still being candid about his diagnosis and what it means for his life and the people that love him.
