As a fan it’s going to be interesting to see and hopefully sheds more light on mental health awareness. As Fleury mentioned above, Doc never seemed to enjoy himself, and his competitive nature and focus really seemed to take over his life. A contrast from how he appeared in his first few seasons. With a mouth full of braces and a perma smile. I guess it shows how immense the pressure to perform can be.

True, I forgot about those rookie years.
Just to clarify, it may not always be the pressure to perform that can set a person off in this case (though we may equate it from the sports angle we know him in). People are so complex and there are so many things that a person in life experiences that shape how they react to things. Could be baseball, or it could be his personal life or upbringing that made him the way he is (combined with predispositions). Who knows really? I'm sure the documentary will position it through the eyes of baseball but it's probably much deeper than that.
