But the model realized he could be an inspiration for others with similar fights.
"That’s really what I want to do, help people, whether you're depressed, you're struggling with something that is having a negative effect on your body," he continued. "I mean it could be anything, and there's no judgment."

His family stood by him during his struggles, including younger sister Kaia. After Presley made a video in December 2025 going into great detail about the various medications he was taking, along with his struggles with anxiety and PTSD, Kaia, 25, praised her brother.
"My parents, for most of our lives, were very, very private and didn’t share anything — and now we have this absolute teacher, my brother, who says, 'I’m gonna be very human for everyone,'" she told Vogue in an interview published in August.
"There’s only so much you can hide from the world. And trying to put a lid on something just makes the person feel like you’re ashamed of them," she continued while referring to the Instagram video, which saw Presley inside a sauna opening up about his struggles by sharing, "honesty is the best policy."
