Tim Green is a very interesting player to talk to.

He put out a book, I think it was called the Dark Side of the game, it was an amazingly deep look into the dressing room in the NFL. If you can find it you should read it before the debate.

One thing about depression is that one of the big false coping mechanisms is to internalize it and deny it, the person sitting next to you, or a family member that you're having dinner with will try to cope with or hide the symptoms, you might never know that your mom is depressed, or your sister is depressed, because most of the symptoms occur when they're alone.

People don't want to talk about depression, most feel that they can work their way out of it, and that's why you see a lot of self medication.

Most people don't know what to look for, most people expect depressed people to mope around the couch, shut themselves away, cry for 20 hours at a time, or just not function.

Those symptoms may be true, but a depressed person will hide those incredibly well.

Until it overwhelms them.
