Their concerns were warranted, given the TV star had taken a synthetic cannabis substance known as Delta 8 one year earlier and left his family unable to locate him.
During the episode, Jonah arrived late to his mother's birthday party, claiming he "lost track of time."
He also shared a heartbreaking update on his life in a confessional interview.
"I'm living with a friend, and that's going okay. [My girlfriend] Ashley and I have been dating for a little over three years - it could be better. Work's not going well at all," he admitted.
He was later confronted by his parents, who insisted that he move home while he sorted things out.
“We're gonna pack you up and move you back home," they demanded.
"We're gonna start setting up appointments and getting things in order. He's raising his hand for help, and that's the first step to changing."
Jonah relented and said he was suffering from anxiety but not taking any illicit substances.
"There's no telling if this will help, it's enjoyable to move away, but now moving back, it's gonna suck," the TV personality said.
FANS' REACTIONS
Fans expressed their thoughts in the comments section of a YouTube clip.
"I want to say his behavior isn't that shocking for someone his age, but I do agree...something is seriously affecting him," one person said.
"Yea something is off and I say this coming from someone who is so depressed and hardly wants to do anything and doesn’t make time for family," a second agreed.
"OMG! That is scary and he needs to take things seriously and stop hanging out those kind [of] friends and Jonah knows better," another wrote.
