I'd strongly urge a lot of you to do some reading around mental health.

It’s got nothing to do with us reading up on it. Insteas I strongly urge you to read the main part of our posts!! WE DON’T CARE IF HE’S DEPRESSED!!
Why? Cause you don't like him?
No, has absolutely nothing to do with it. I loved Gazza, could not give a shit about what he’s done to himself. I think Kane is a great guy, still wouldn’t care. I grew up loving Star Wars, couldn’t give two shits that Carrie Fisher died.
Instead I choose to care about my family. I care about children getting hurt/killed on a daily basis. I feel sorry for the families of soldiers who lost their lives for our country, yet society is more worried about Love Island and bullshit like that.
I don’t dislike him, I just think he’s a twat.

Stop putting words in people’s mouth. He never said that! He said he has the means to deal with it himself.

There is a thread on depression on these forums. That may help.
Depression isn't something you "get over" either, it's an illness which you have to manage. The value of Danny's interview is that it should encourage people to talk about mental illness, and understand it, rather than struggle through it... Or as this thread has highlighted, shun it or trivialise it. Particularly with young men and particularly with footballers. The highest cause of death for men under 25 is still suicide.

My dad is clinically depressed. My step mum is agoraphobic. My best mate self harmed for years. I had a breakdown when i left uni. I lived with a woman who was bipolar for 5 years. My wife’s mate killed himself after years of depression. I’m pretty read up. I’ve been to counselling myself, joint, I’ve had to discharge someone. You do not have the only manual on this
You can feel for someone, want them to be happy, but be angry and frustrated with them at the same time. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Stop trying to make people feel bad for perfectly natural reactions. Those with mental health issues impact others, they don’t exist in a microscosm and it’s not all about them
I nearly ruined my parents’ lives and an important part of recovery/management is taking ownership of that.
Hmm... no, he really did say that.
That's why you should do some reading around the subject.
