Mychal Threets said in a Monday Threads post that he is “not okay,” is seeking help and plans to check into a hospital, adding that he is safe “in this moment.”
Threets — the former children’s librarian who later became host of the revamped Reading Rainbow — has publicly discussed mental health struggles for years.
In 2024, he left his job at the Solano County Library to prioritize his mental health, saying the struggle had been “scarily real” since age 8 and that he was in therapy and on medication.
