So a depressed player dabbling in drugs as an escape to their torture should be banned on their first offense? Wow, nice way to abandon someone in troubleStriker wrote:Yeah get with the times. Tha ACC has exposed that drug policy as NOT GOOD ENOUGH!! Best practice? The instant they use drugs they cop PUNISHMENT! That's the ONLY way to get the message across! Anything less is open to abuse, as the AFL were already told by Collingwood in case you forgot! No more three strikes BS! One strike and you're out - like it is with PED's in the NRL by the way!! I want that expanded to illicit drugs and after this I think we will.

Depression is a mental illness! Environmental conditions and even family history play a significant role. Next you'll blame people for developing cancer, or heart disease!Striker wrote:Why be depressed? Why? Come one, you're the so called expert. Explain it to me!

Re: NRL - drugged up cheats abound!
Depression is NOT a mental illness!!! What a load of shit! If there's an environmental problem that's not depression! That's something else entirely! So your follow up comment is irrelevant.
Now again, why be depressed?

From beyond blue:

http://www.nami.org/Template.cfm?Section=depressionDepression is more than just a low mood - it's a serious illness. While we all feel sad, moody or low from time to time, some people experience these feelings intensely, for long periods of time and often without reason. People with depression find it hard to function every day and may be reluctant to participate in activities they once enjoyed.
Depression is one of the most common of all mental health problems. One in five people experience depression at some stage of their lives.
Major depression is a mood state that goes well beyond temporarily feeling sad or blue. It is a serious medical illness that affects one’s thoughts, feelings, behavior, mood and physical health. Depression is a life-long condition in which periods of wellness alternate with recurrences of illness.

So the mental health experts in the USA and Australia have no idea.Striker wrote:Beyond Blue has just lost my respect. And Yank websites are the worst sources of all.
What about Canada? http://www.cmha.ca/mental-health/unders ... epression/
One of Canada's most common illnesses is also the least understood. Everyone feels "blue" or sad from time to time. It's a normal life experience. But when these emotions increase in intensity, persist for more than a few weeks, and start to interfere with a person's life, it may signal depression. No amount of "cheering up" can make the depression go away; no amount of exercise, vitamins or vacation can make it disappear. That's because depression is an illness, not a weakness.

Re: NRL - drugged up cheats abound!
You ignorant moron.You and people like you are the reason many can not open up and throw themselves off bridges. Depression is very real and very prevalent. Unfortunately the ignorant cockheads are also very real and also just as prevalent.Do yourself a favour and read Heath Blacks book" BLACK" you may learn something you ignorant pig.But something tells me its a long time since you read a book.Striker wrote:Depression is NOT a mental illness!!!

Re: NRL - drugged up cheats abound!
Modern medicine? Chuck a pill at it and it will all go away is modern medicine. Keep that away from me!
Opening up is the way to avoid depression, Pook, you dumb cluck! Yell it out and all that! Depression is a stupid excuse and I won't tolerate it. Someone says "I'm depressed" I'll slap them across the face and tell them to grow a set and stop being so fucking weak! You know what the real problem is? Molly coddling!

1. Modern medicine is based on, and enhanced through peer reviewed research. Current medical practice is then shaped by this research meaning that it is evidence based. This is fact! I see it every day. When medication is used as treatment this is because the results of this medication have been shown through controlled research to be the most likely to produce the best outcome.
2. Your assessment of depression is totally incorrect and one of the very reasons depression is so poorly understood and tolerated in the community. Why you think you know better than psychiatrists who study this and other mental illnesses in great detail for around 12 years is beyond me!

Over 2000 people kill themselves a year in Australia do you think they do this because they are happy. I suggest you ring Beyond Blue and espouse your theories see if they have a different opinion.
