From the sounds of his behavior he seems to be showing signs of a behavioral disease. He might be bi-polar, have a personality disorder or worse. I hope he receives some quality care and that his needs come before the needs of a team.
It's funny how professional athletes appear to be these almost superhuman people and thought that way because of their physical makeup and yet can be extremely fragile due to their mental makeup. It appears he needs help, I hope he gets it.
Did any of these newly discovered "conditions" (behavioral disease. He might be bi-polar, have a personality disorder or worse...like ADD) exist when you were a kid, Nick?
We are the most grossly overmedicated and overdiagnosed population in human history. Give it a year and Young will be diagonsed with ADDDD or Tri or Quad-polar because all of these "diseases" and "conditions" seem to take on new lives of their own.
Between wacko diagnoses...How about the Titans deal with Young as a professional? Their concern should be what happened last Sunday. Where it sounds like he had to be coaxed back into the game by his coach.
Actually iowa, yes they did. I come from a family where mental illness stretches back generations. My ancestors were thought to be crazy or just strange. No one had a good thing to say about them until after they committed suicide.
As a 12 year old kid I took care of my baby brother and other siblings until finally going to college because my mother was in and out of mental institutions. I had to clean up giant puddles of her blood as a child on several occasions after yet another attempted suicide.
I myself have a mental illness that due to the right medicines and proper balance of medications allows me to lead a normal life. I recognized what I felt and what was happening to me early because when I was a child I asked why these things were happening to my mother. I asked why so many of my relatives had committed suicide. I got medical answers why and a long list of symptoms that come along that one needs to watch for.
Any person that has my disease has a 25% chance of passing that on to their children. I was the only one of four kids to get it in my family. My children could have it. But if caught early, like any other disease it can be put under control.
I lost a decade of my life to mental illness because I refused to admit to myself that I could have what my mother had and refused to admit what was happening to me. Like diabetes, heart disease, asthma, or whatever, it can be helped. Not in all cases but new therapies and medications are being tested every day.
After 45 years of hell, and believe me the stories of my childhood I could tell would make your hair stand on end, my mother is finally receiving a medication that is working that came out only within the last year or so. She is a different person, someone I don't ever remember meeting or being a part of my life. My dad says this was the person he met and married all those years ago.
Don't denigrate an area of medicine just because of some preconceived enigma that has existed for years over its validity. Being a child of someone who has a mental illness and a person that has a mental illness, I can tell you they exist, the medications work and its a [dang] struggle.
But I live with it.
