As of this writing, the real cause of Travis Barker's hospitalization remains unknown. However, a news outlet suggests it might be Travis Barker's recurring disease.

Travis Barker's Suicide Disease Cause of His Hospitalization?

In an interview dated February 2019, Travis Barker revealed to Joe Rogan that he is suffering from "suicide disease."

Commonly known as the "suicide disease," Travis Barker was medically diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia.

According to The Mayo Clinic, it is a condition that causes painful sensations similar to an electric shock on one side of the face.

Apparently, those who were diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia could experience a jolt of excruciating pain just by brushing their teeth or putting makeup on.

"Basically, all of the nerves in your face are firing all at the same time. So it almost feels like what you feel when you think you need a root canal or you have a tooth that's messed up," Travis described.

To treat this disease, Travis Barker uses a form of cannabis called Cannabidiol.

Not to be confused with the actual marijuana, the drummer's medication comes from the cannabis plant with medical uses and does not consist of tetrahydrocannabinol, a psychoactive element in marijuana. (via Sportskeeda)

He was also hospitalized in 2018 for blood clots and suffered from staph infection and cellulitis. But before that, Travis Barker also suffered from an almost fatal plane crash in 2008.
