Those bits of information are generally not disclosed to the public, although he was seen by psychiatrists during his legal battles and the accusations concerning child molestation.
More generally as regards Michael, if he received treatment -- drugs, psychotherapy, etc., from what one can observe over the years, they weren't obviously very effective and at various times things got much worse, across all dimensions of his various pathologies.
Toxicological exams during the autopsy will tell whether his heart attack was connected to drug use, prescriptive or otherwise.
