Liam Payne’s Psychiatrist Dropped Singer as Patient Before Death

Liam Payne was advised by his psychiatrist just weeks before his death … he needed a “higher level of care” than she could provide.

In a letter, filed with the court in Argentina and obtained by TMZ … the One Direction star’s psychiatrist informed the British singer in September she could no longer provide psychiatric care for him.

As the psychiatrist put it … she decided to stop treating Liam “after careful consideration and assessment,” but advised him to continue with a treatment plan — which included taking medications only as prescribed, avoiding heavy drinking while on medication, weekly therapy, meeting with a primary care doctor, and further testing.

However, as we’ve reported, Liam experienced a relapse the next year … which came to light after the singer fell to his death from the third-floor balcony of his hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina in October.

As TMZ reported, Liam had cocaine, alcohol and an anti-depressant in his system at the time of his death. Five people have been charged in connection with his passing … including an employee at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel, who’s been accused of supplying drugs to the late star.
