"I shall return soon!" - Minecraft star Ranboo gives update regarding his mental health after announcing hiatus, fans rally in support

Minecraft star Ranboo has shared an update regarding his mental health after announcing a hiatus on August 27, 2023. In a social media update on X (formerly Twitter), the content creator said he was taking a week-long break to "reset his brain." Ranboo also thanked his close friends for their support and wrote:

"I will be taking a break for about a week! I'm going to basically try and reset my brain a bit, and really just think about where I want to go with my content! I can't thank my friends enough for supporting me throughout the last few months as I'll admit, it's been a tad rough."

Ranboo added:

"I have felt a little conflicted with what I've been making vs. what I want to make as well as how I make it, and I decided that a little break is the best way to do that! Go wild, I'll see you all in about a week :D. Thank you!"

The 19-year-old took to his alternate X handle, @ranaltboo, earlier today (August 30, 2023) to provide an update on the situation. He disclosed that he had recently begun taking medications for his mental health.

Ranboo also announced that he will resume livestreaming "soon":

"Hi, I don’t usually share this type of stuff anymore, but something very cool that I did want to share is that I have recently started to get medicated for my mental health! It has been something that I’ve been on the fence (about) for a while but finally got the courage to get up and go :D. Hope you are all doing well, I shall return soon!"
