Dex later responded on the same platform, telling folks he'd simply fallen asleep because he was tired from working in the studio for so long ... and it was all much ado about nothin'.
Thing is, we're told that's just not the case. Sources say Dex was upset by the video of himself passing out and expressed a desire of never wanting to see himself like that again. The problem ... he's tried getting treatment, but always circles back to drugs.

This is how bad it's gotten for Dex -- we've learned there's someone who is always by Dex's side for the sole purpose of making sure he's coherent enough to do his job. We're also being told that, at times, there's even someone who sleeps in the same bed to make sure he's okay. His team is actively working to get him the help he needs.
In the wake of Mac Miller's death -- and lots of other celebs dealing with drug abuse -- we're told Dex is well aware of his issue and the support of everyone around him.
