Thorpe's father revealed in February that the swimmer was battling depression.
He sought help in early 2014 after being found disoriented near his parents' Sydney home, having taken a combination of antidepressants and medication for a shoulder injury.
Thorpe was sent for medical assessment to Bankstown Hospital and then entered a rehabilitation program.
The swimmer made an ill-fated attempt to compete at the 2012 London Olympics.
Thorpe's manager did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
