Nikita Dragun Receives Mental Health Treatment After Miami Arrest

Nikita Dragun is receiving professional mental health care at a facility after being arrested at a Miami hotel and spending time in jail... TMZ has learned.

Nikita's rep Jack Ketsoyan told TMZ... "We want to thank everyone for the overwhelming love and support for Nikita during this time. She is in a safe environment for her mental health. We ask for continued respect for her privacy and sensitivity of this matter as she seeks treatment and healing."

We are told that Nikita began treatment on Wednesday evening.

The transgender influencer has been open about her mental health struggles: In May, she shared on her YouTube channel that she had been diagnosed as bipolar.

Nikita said she had a family history of bipolar disorder, although she was initially surprised by her diagnosis, as she didn't quite understand what it meant to be bipolar. As a result, she says she did not link her own symptoms to the disease.

TMZ broke the story... Nikita was arrested on Tuesday for assaulting a police officer after allegedly causing a disturbance at a fancy hotel while walking naked around the pool.
