Not sure from the BBC article that I’ve read whether he’s criticising spurs or not?
I think in a world of heavily sanitised sports stars its refreshing that he says what he thinks even if we don't like it i.e. the interview. He is a brave lad coming out and saying this and I wish him all the best and hope he is still our player next season.
Rubbish.
Sadness and grief are very clearly different entities from clinical depression. Doctors do not dish out antidepressants (or sleeping tablets willy nilly).
People who show signs of clinical depression are not just given pills. In fact careful assessment is made, tablets take at least 2 weeks before they even start working so it is far better to initiate treatment than do nothing. And treatment is often in the form of counselling first. Most patients are followed up very closely.
Depression can be note debilitating than a lot of serious physical illness.
On Rose:
I have a lot of respect for Danny Rose coming to the table and talking about his issues. Mental health illness affects up to 1/3 people in some way at some time and it’s important we can be open - the more this is “normalised” in sport, the easier it will be for other players to get help and support.
His life obviously, but why on earth would you open up about something like that to a room full of hacks without even telling your parents/family first?
It was discussed on SC at the time of that interview in August that he might be depressed. Some posters said he didn’t sound 100% so a good spot by them. Sounds like he’s been on drugs to help so it’s obviously something the club were aware of and probably why he wasn’t hung out to dry by the manager or his team mates.
@punkisback is there a reason you WTF’d this post? If choosing to do so, at least explain. As on the surface that seems like a rather cynical and crappy thing to do.I'm very sorry to hear that you struggled with those issues. I've also dealt with depression and anxiety for most of my life. It's not fun in the slightest and can be crippling. Seeing my teenage son exhibit some of the same issues is hugely worrying, as it would be for any parent. So, we talk about these things a lot in my home and with counselors too. I hope that Danny is surrounded by those that give him confidence and fill his heart with love and hope.
Best left back I've seen in my life time at spurs. I wish he'd had a better relationship with the fan base over the years, "that interview" aside(where he didn't actually say anything which wasn't true) I think he does deserve more respect than he gets. Not to mention the fact we, as a collective, treated him like utter shit when he signed that new contract. Pot. Kettle. Black.
When he's firing he scraps for spurs more than anyone on the pitch. And that matters. A real nasty piece of work player who happens to be quite brilliant at football. Hope he stays and wins everyone around again. And he deserves a huge amount of respect for being so open about his mental health problems.
He's been my adopted player before. He's defo going to be my adopted player for 2018/19 if he stays. You fuckers leave our Danny alone!
One of the saddest things is how easily doctors dish out meds for anyone who expresses even the vaguest symptoms of depression. Know loads of people who have gone to a GP saying I’m sad and want to sleep all the time and they walk out of the surgery pills in hand and signed off work which means any problems the person may have isn’t really getting sorted. I’m sure Danny has all the support he needs from the club, though. Not the same for Joe Blogs however.
Depends where you work as a clinician, and which MH practitioner you see as a client. Also, not true that all meds take at least 2 weeks to have any effect; so many variables here, not least the patient's own physiology and the particular body's tolerance and interaction with whatever drug is prescribed.Rubbish.

I mean this in complete seriousness, you’re a ****.Danny Rose has a fair bit to say just recently.
After the season he’s just had, I could be guilty of thinking he may just concentrate on his football. Especially seeing as he’s robbed a place on the plane.
Sort of begs the question wether he’d be this outspoken if Utd or City were interested?!

Would be an interesting development if true.
