On November 17, 2017, Lowell took to social media to tell fans she was seeking treatment after experiencing suicidal thoughts.{{cite web|url=https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/teen-mom-ogs-catelynn-lowell-seeks-treatment-after-suicide-thoughts/|title=Teen Mom OG's Catelynn Lowell Seeks Treatment After Suicide Thoughts|date=17 November 2017}} Following a miscarriage,{{Cite web|url=https://people.com/tv/teen-mom-catelynn-baltierra-suffers-miscarriage/|title=Teen Mom OG's Catelynn Baltierra Suffers a Miscarriage and Suicidal Thoughts: 'I Miss My Baby'|website=PEOPLE.com|language=en|access-date=2019-06-05}} Lowell returned to treatment for a third time in January 2018, citing childhood trauma as one of the causes of her mental health issues after speculation by fans on Twitter.{{cite web|url=https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/catelynn-lowell-heads-back-to-treatment-third-times-a-charm/|title=Catelynn Lowell Heads Back to Treatment: 'Third Time's a Charm'|date=17 January 2018}}
In the summer of 2024, Lowell revealed that the adoption of their daughter Carly had closed, as her biological mother, Teresa had blocked her. Her, Tyler and their three youngest daughters have not seen Carly since 2023. {{Cite web |date=2024-09-09 |title=Catelynn Lowell Says She’s Been Blocked By Birth Daughter Carly’s Mom & Leaks Messages She Sent to Teresa: “I Mean Nothing To [Them]!” |url=https://www.theashleysrealityroundup.com/2024/09/09/catelynn-lowell-reveals-shes-been-blocked-by-birth-daughter-carlys-parents-how-fair-is-that-for-carly-her-siblings/ |access-date=2025-06-05 |website=The Ashley's Reality Roundup |language=en-US}}
In late May 2025, leaked messages surfaced on social media indicating that Catelynn and Tyler were in contact with people who alleged themselves to be Carly’s friends, in an attempt to get in touch with her and maintain a relationship after the closure of the adoption and her adoptive family ceasing contact. The messages are confirmed to be with Lowell and Baltierra and the alleged friends of their biological daughter, and while the true identities of those they are texting have yet to be confirmed, they have made the couple the subject of numerous grooming and stalking allegations, given the age of the children involved, the nature of the messages, and the information that they were seeking. Lowell and Baltierra have not commented on the grooming and stalking allegations directly, but stated they would no longer be speaking publicly about the adoption. {{Cite web |last=Staff |first=OK! |date=2025-06-02 |title=Tyler Baltierra's Alleged Texts to Adopted Daughter Carly Davis' Friend Released: 'We Just Can't Do Anything Right' |url=https://okmagazine.com/p/tyler-baltierra-carly-davis-alleged-text-messages-leaked/ |access-date=2025-06-05 |website=OK Magazine |language=en-US}} {{Cite web |last=Davis |first=Olivia |date=2025-05-27 |title=Catelynn Lowell Accused of Secretly Texting Carly’s Friend to Spy on Adopted Daughter! |url=https://allaboutthetea.com/2025/05/27/catelynn-lowell-accused-of-secretly-texting-carlys-friend-to-spy-on-adopted-daughter/ |access-date=2025-06-05 |website=All About The Tea {{!}} Celebrity, Hollywood, Reality TV Entertainment News |language=en-US}} {{Cite web |last=Richards |first=Matt |date=2025-05-27 |title=Catelynn Lowell Says She's 'Praying' to 'Hear' Adopted Daughter Carly's Voice in Heartbreaking Leaked Text Messages |url=https://okmagazine.com/p/catelynn-lowell-adopted-daughter-carly-text-messages-leaked/ |access-date=2025-06-05 |website=OK Magazine |language=en-US}}
