Mental health is incredibly important and a every day commitment. Happy this kid is doing better.

 

[Crystal Ball]

awesome to hear.

Mental illness is a very important issue to me personally and im incredibly glad this kid is getting the help he needs and is committed to feeling better.

Keep going, Issiah.

 

[joseermonfils]

This is great to hear!

 

[ScharfCane]

Him playing any snaps is a luxury at this point. Right now, him getting better and making progress is the important win we could ask for

 

[Hegemon]

Excellent

I'm all for Mental Health, but everybody has to deal with the forces of real life even after therapy. It would greatly help him cope if he got on the field and dealt with class, teammates, coaches and performed well. Ultimately he'll feel better if he feels he's successful.

No one knows exactly what would help him. The young man from OSU was in class, with teammates and coaches, and was winning games, and he still retired due to his mental health. Everyone isn’t the same. We don’t know what he has been doing to better himself mentally.

Great to hear.

Are you a therapist?

Plenty of successful, high performing people suffer from chronic depression and success does nothing for them. A chemical imbalance isn’t solved by “feeling successful”.

The fact that cognitive behavioral therapy is more effective than antidepressant shows that positive thoughts and behaviors can reverse/stabilize the chemical imbalance. Getting back to work/play and achieving daily successes goes a long way to treating depression (and anxiety).

This new staff and the addition of so many off-field coaches will greatly benefit him IMO. I’m rooting for the young man and him contributing on the field is secondary at this point.

 

[Cribby]

I said from the beginning to be patient with him. It’ll likely take 2-3 years before we see him.

Do you know what treatment plan Issiah is following? Are you a certified therapist or mental health expert?

People need to fall back. His treatment is working, that’s great news, and we should unconditionally support him through his recovery because that shít is a rough road to travel. But pontificating on what works best for everyone is part of the problem in how we approach mental health as a society.

He was talking about from the beginning when he first transferred from UF 2 years ago. We'll see him on the field 2022 or 2023 at the earliest per cribby.

No, I said when he got here “ 2 or 3 years before we see him“ . Which makes him 21 year old rs soph. I was very clear he needed time.

Whenever he gets here, I'll be happy to have him on the squad.

I wasn't being unsympathetic towards Walker or any person dealing with Mental illness. My primary point is that outside of meds, therapy has to address dealing with whatever your mental issue is. I have seen enough sessions and dealing with real world realities are discussed often.
