Patrick J. Adams Discusses Sobriety and Marriage

Patrick J. Adams, best known for his role as Mike Ross on the TV show 'Suits', left the series after its seventh season due to personal struggles with depression and alcohol, prioritizing his mental health and marriage to Troian Bellisario. Feeling overwhelmed and unfulfilled, he realized that his coping mechanisms were ineffective and detrimental to his family life. His decision to exit the show, despite financial gains, was influenced by a desire to be a more present father and husband. He later shared his experiences on Jesse Tyler Ferguson's 'Dinner’s on Me' podcast, reflecting on the importance of addressing his mental health and ceasing alcohol consumption. Although he returned briefly for the show's final season, Adams has found a new path of reflection and gratitude through a rewatch podcast. The show 'Suits', which ran from 2011 to 2019, has seen renewed interest after becoming available on Netflix.
