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.

I can relate to that tbh....Because the illness is not visual some people do not understand or believe their is a problem, most become more educated once they have experienced mental illness via a loved one or themselves. Our culture has more work to do than other cultures because of the stiff upper lip attitude we have always adopted in the past, but gradually barriers are being broken down, and education is helping, however we still have a long way to go.

But you'd rather believe that Gleeson is slinging the lead.

Terrific.

Ah right.....

...and rightly so. We have a facility already for people who want to bleat on about their derogatory, inflammatory and ill-informed opinions, the HDM comments section.

Till people go through this illness they don't want to understand it because
there is nothing to see they think there is nothing wrong

Well said kt170496 you are absoloutely spot on. i am a manic depressive its not good place to be

Never heard it put that way before

And now you are Agarophobic

Id avoid being an FC fan then

That's because it's a typo.



Should have put [iswinging[/i the lead.

Think it could become a bonafide medical condition if he is here next season

anyone care to review their thoughts?

One thread is plenty.
