Jake Lloyd, who starred young Anakin Skywalker in "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace," has opened up about his struggle with schizophrenia.

After a recent 18-month stint in a Southern California inpatient mental health facility, Lloyd said he is feeling “pretty good”. “I don’t have the time for feeling volatile,” the child actor said of taking his medication.
