    Says someone who doesn't understand depression at all. It isn't just circumstance related.

    Doesn’t matter who you are, where you’re from or how much money you have. Depression has no demographic.

    On a similar theme, not sure if anyone saw this https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45476430. Interview with George Green, who was signed by Everton from Bradford at 16 and now plays for Chester. At one point his depression was so bad he was stood on the tracks near Dewsbury waiting for the train to end his life. Ironically, it was announced the train was late and that was the key for him to get help.

    I slump into bad bouts of depression every 5 to 10 years. It is so debilitating, my life comes to a virtual standstill for months. I couldn't understand it the first time. Everything was going right in my life at the time. I then learnt that in my case it was due to a chemical imbalance - serotonin levels.

    I have suffered from bad depression and anxiety since I was 15, I'm now 26.

    It doesn't matter how much you earn or what job you do...

    If I had 10k in the bank right now I would still feel the same

    Thats like saying if he got cancer (wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy) and saying how can a superfit athlete get such a disease?
    Depression is a mental illness, deeper than material gain or how much u have in the bank mate

    You can look happy on the outside... but in reality you are dying inside.

    Who would think Gary Speed or Robin Williams were suffering?

    Danny Rose, Aaron Lennon, David Cotteril also.

    Money doesn't buy you happiness

    Behold the reason why a lot of work is still to be done to remove the stigma's around mental illness.

    I'm glad that the club, and Gauthier quite prominently, are doing their fair share of raising awareness and making it something that can be discussed. The club's messages clearly haven't quite reached you yet.

    But as Spike Milligan said, "it buys you a better standard of misery".

    I may have butchered that quote!

    Depression doesn't discriminate between people that are wealthy or struggling.

    Oh and having seen you've said you're a union rep in Jay's thread I find that deeply concerning.

    I hope to god anyone coming to you for any mental health related difficulties at work receives a more compassionate and intelligent response.

    Seeing as you are a union rep. Work is obliged to let you attend courses with pay. If work doesn’t provide one on mental health. Your union certainly does. One I can thoroughly recommend. 3 day course. I have experience with coming across depression. Self and others. Far worse than any physical issue in my case.

    I am sorry for my reply I realise that it was highly insensitive of me. I realise it doesn’t matter what profession you are in mental health can strike anyone at anytime many people have ended their lives through this and my comments were wrong once again I am sorry for the remark
