What happened to Delonte West? Mental disorders are a scary thing

basketball was probably his outlet from the disease and as it got so big, he started to slide and now you see where he is


exactly, you get it


In a socialistic society, there should be no excuses about "help". Time for these guys to just owe up to their decisions. Poor decision making doesn‘t equate to mental disorders either. People always blaming someone.

no you don't get it at all clearly

its okay, you never been in a relationship with someone or had family member with it or friend
 
always saddens me to see this happen to players...

i think i heard improvements being made of how to be smart with your money through meetings/counseling during your early years, but to blow through $16 mil that fast is crazy
 
Was never a fan of his but did find it hilarious that he was smashing Bron's moms :lol:

America is still not ready to face it's problem with mental health issues.

Probably gonna take a Magic I have HIV press conference type announcement for it to get any closer to a public discussion like Curry coming out telling everybody he's schizophrenic.

If you haven't seen NFL Network's A Football Life of Brandon Marshall, I suggest checking it out.
 
When I saw his interview on Dan Lebatard's show I knew son had problems. Interview was depressing. I looked on YouTube, for some reason I can't find it.
 
A few things

1. Can "we" please stop it with the, "Where are his friends/family" and/or "Why didn't past employers help him out" comments. Are we supposed to know each and every person that attempted to help people out? Yall did the same with the Odom situation. "Kobe should have helped him." I mean, we don't know who did anything to help out Delonte West man.

Also, you act like help = he won't fail. How many people in the history of the world had support systems and still fell off? Many. So yea, stop talking as if you know the story.

2. He is a DC Area product. I support folks from this area and hope they are successful. This is a SAD situation man. Always loved his game from his days in HS. Combo guard with no real weaknesses. He could shoot, pass, defend, and always played hard and smart.

I hope he can clean himself up man. Really hurts to read about him not doing so well :smh:
 
What exactly is his mental disorder? Genuinely asking...I didn't see it in the article that OP posted, but skimmed a bit. Same with this thread. Only mention of a specific I saw was bipolar, but that was in explaining someone else. What specifically is Delonte suffering from?

He said himself he's bipolar. When he lived in VA way back he was real suicidal too so I'm guessing depression is part of it too.
 
damn. no way. delonte lifted up my spirit many times especially that youtube video he does with paul pierce
 
This man made over $16 million in his career. There is no way he blew it all.

I couldn't run through $16 mil if i tried!
