This. However, what I don't understand is someone saying he hasn't had cancer, or being made redundant, so should just get on with it.

Well it's just a fundamental misunderstanding of mental health isn't it. Edit: in fact, reading the comment you're referencing, that's just complete and utter ignorance.

Sorry like but if he thinks he's had a couple of tough years he's living in a f***ing dream world. He's a multi millionaire. People have had cancer, been made redundant, lost their house and all kinds of other real shit. The bloke has had a dip in his career. Big deal.

Famously, no rich and famous people have ever killed themselves...

Don't get me wrong, if he is going through mental health issues I feel for the man and hope the issues get resolved ASAP, however that doesn't absolve him of guilt, responsibility and general idiocy when it comes to something like this.

He has been under the influence of drugs at 9am on a Thursday morning and thought to himself he'd just go out for a drive in a very high powered supercar. There is no word on the route he has taken to get to the part of the M3 where he has crashed, but he is quite fortunate that the kids are on school holidays otherwise there would be loads of kids in cars travelling to school and god help him if he injured one. I have had and still often have severe mental health problems, but the last thing I would ever want to do is put anyone else in mortal danger through reckless actions if I'm going through an episode.

As for the people who have said he can't have severe mental health problems because he has loads of money, that is just complete bullshit.

Suffering with mental health issues doesn’t mean you can take drugs and horse your lambo down a motorway

Not saying it is.

I was quoting the part on millionaire and that rich people shouldn’t suffer mental health because they have money…
ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK said:
Did they endanger other people on the road with their actions? Would you be OK and still think the same if he'd crashed into your friend/relative who just so happened to be on the same part of the motorway instead of a barrier?

I think he needs to realise he's been fortunate that it's just the car that's been damaged and not himself or anyone else.

See above he said because people are millionaires people can’t suffer.. which is a shit take on life.

Keith is just a little attention seeker anyway who tried to bully people when he was a mod

Cannabis will not help those mental struggles.
I suppose he can either apply for PIP or get his nose to the grindstone and work his way back at a club where he can offer something. He is talented.

Was talented. Played a lot of games from a young age. His ‘legs went’ several years ago.

I am afraid he is on a slippery slope to a ruined life. He needs help and a firm hand.

He needs to get his head straight.
His career as a meaningful footballer is now behind him so he probably needs to accept that and decide what he wants to do next.
He seems like a good bloke but I guess the realisation that he can’t do what he’s done so well since he was a young boy is difficult to come to terms with, regardless of how much money he’s earned from it.

The same Ricky Hatton who entered rehab on several occasions because of his drug use?

What’s the difference between Ricky Hatton using drugs and struggling with his mental health and Raheem Sterling using drugs and struggling with his mental health?

Who says Sterling is struggling with his mental health?

His pal after he was caught?

His career had long ended in fact. He'd had a major money related bust up with his parents, his Dad was formerly his manager.

Sterling may or may not have mental health issues but in my eyes the following is bullshit purely based on him being caught drug driving.

had been suffering from “immeasurable” psychological strain after an “extremely tough couple of years”.

He stated many, many times that his depression started after losing to Mayweather. Felt like he'd let the people down by losing. He talked about crying his eyes out just before the Pacquiao ringwalk.

Without wanting to sound like too much of an amateur psychologist, I suspect that his binge drinking/eating earlier in his career were also linked to mental health struggles but the Mayweather loss definitely amplified it.
