bang on. Falsely claiming "depression" as a smoke screen is repulsive. The should send Fury to support groups for families such as Gary Speeds widow and Children, I'm sure it would go down well when he says he's depressed because the tabloids didn't sing his praises enough. The guy is scum imo.
If he has falsely claimed depression, then yes, he should be heavily criticised.
As that would be a despicable act, particularly if he has done so to deflect attention for his own wrong doing.
But it would be a bold person that claims they know, for absolute certainty, that Tyson Fury has falsely claimed anything.
First off, it's fair to say that Tyson Fury has displayed tell tale signs of a mental disorder in the past and it wouldn't come as a massive shock if he had suffered some form of depression or bipolar disorder. I'm no expert but it's something that the wider public have noted in the past.
It is not as simple as saying "he's depressed because the tabloids didn't sing his praises enough", depression does not need an excuse.
I have personal experience of this (not personally but a loved one).
Depression is an illness, youi don't need an excuse to have the flu, it just happens.
It doesn't necessarily require a reason and can happen to people, who lead what many would consider a happy and fulfilling life. Yes some issues may trigger it and the combination of the stress of his new found fame and the perceived lack of respect may be enough to trigger it in Tyson, he seems a fragile personality. But those will not be the "reasons" he would be suffering from it, it would be an underlying medical condition. Those I've spoken to that suffer from depression tell me, it just hits you, you are having a perfectly good day, there is no reason for it, it just happens. And they find themselves asking why?
I'm not saying he has depression, I don't know, he may be full of shit. But i'd be making sure I was 100% certain before I went online to criticise someone with a claim of mental health issues, as it's no fornicating joke, I can assure you.
Big swinging jaw and sticky sweats!
