I appreciate it is often a difficult illness to understand, however like mentioned it can be a very dangerous illness, and I sincerely hope you can go through your life without a loved one or yourself becoming a victim.

The reality is not that many supporters buy that he has Stress/Depression. Therefore the sympathy level is going to be minimal at best.

And there is the problem in this whole debate - my opinion is that a lot of people on here are arguing about the issue of stress releated illnesses and what they really want to say is that their gut feeling is that we have a Hull FC player that is taking the p**s.



People need to stop talking round their opinions, and call a spade a spade.

Done a poll have you?

Ah, yes, but he went to the darts as well.

You don't 'buy' it? FFS. What is it with conspiracy theorists on here?

Beat me to it.

Ok then lets rephrase that. The FC supporters I know the majority don't buy it.



As for calling a spade a spade we are not allowed to as you will know from other topics on Gleeson that have been locked.

Some people need to spend 2 hours in an acute unit, they would soon buy into mental illness

I think it's Gleeson's specifically they're not buying. Though why, I'm not sure. If a fraction of the rumours surrounding him before he came to the club are true, it's easy to see how he might be more than a little anxious.

Depression is one illness I would not wish on my worst enemy

People who suffer this illness just want to sit they don't want to get dressed or wash themselves they lose all interest in life

It's an illness that can happen to any of us any numbers of thing could trigger it off work/stress worry

Even if you get over it the is a chance it could return The best way to describe it is an balance in the chemical

to the brain They need people around them who are strong and understanding and help them through it it take time

the person would probably stay on medication for the rest of they life.. I am not a doctor but I have had first hand

experience ..And I don't want to go through with it again

I buy mental illness/stress etc. My wife suffered from Agoraphobia and stress so I do understand people go through it.
