Jared Padalecki candidly spoke about his mental health and how he experienced dramatic suicidal ideation at one point.

The Supernatural star, who appeared on Tuesdays episode of the Ive Never Said This Before podcast alongside wife Genevieve, said that he checked himself into a clinic at the time and still experiences some depression lows to this day.

It was 2015, Padalecki said. I had a really low moment.

I was letting my thoughts take over and going to a place of dramatic suicidal ideation, he added. And I called my wife and she said, Get home. So I got home, went to a clinic for a couple of weeks and looked into it and havent been suicidal since. Not for a moment.

The actor previously told Variety he was filming Season 3 of Supernatural when he broke down on set and a doctor urged him to seek treatment for depression. Padalecki, who had launched a mental health campaign mere days earlier, canceled all of his upcoming events .

While he attended Comic-Con to heartwarming fan support later that year, Padalecki said Tuesday that theres still highs and lows with his depression. He was gutted in 2021 when Supernatural excluded him from a spinoff after 15 years on the CW show.

Today is a low, he said. Im fine nothing to worry about. But I have a lot of sadness about it. I know Ill be fine because Im talking to you about it, I talk to Gen about it, I talk to my friends about it.
