Joe Jonas Reveals Poor Album Sales Led to Panic Attacks & His Decision to Start Therapy

Joe Jonas is getting candid about what prompted him to seek therapy and how low album sales impacted him and his mental health.

During the newest episode of the Hey Jonas! podcast that features Joe and his brothers Nick Jonas and Kevin Jonas, the 36-year-old singer shared the poor commercial response to his first album, Fastlife, made him seek professional help.

The poor sales of Fastlife led Joe Jonas to get therapy

“The reason I started doing therapy is because of the first taste of, like, not achieving ‘success,’” he shared, along with air-quotes around the word success. “I released a solo album when I was about 21, 22 and it didn’t do as well as I thought it would do because everything the Jonas Brothers touched back then, it would be gold. We would just be a No. 1 [hit].”

Joe continued, “I put something out by myself and I think I had a lot of high expectations of success without you guys. That was important to me somewhere in my core. I was like, ‘If I do that, then I matter.’”

Joe started to get panic attacks

The Camp Rock star said he consulted with doctors when he started getting panic attacks, but it didn’t really help him so he eventually went to a therapist.

“I finally spoke to somebody after crying through the first question for an hour, realized how great it was,” he said. “It definitely was so helpful during that season and it has been throughout my life and other major life things that I’ve gone through.”
