Los Angeles: "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace" star Jake Lloyd has been reportedly diagnosed with schizophrenia and transferred to a psychiatric ward after spending nearly 10 months in jail.

The actor who starred as a young Anakin Skywalker in "The Phantom Menace" was arrested last year after he led police on a high-speed chase across two counties in South Carolina. According to TMZ, the child-star was transferred to the psychiatric centre after authorities concluded he needed help with his schizophrenia.
