Report: Jonathan Martin "gone AWOL

I am shamed by the lack of understanding of the causes of mental breakdowns and mental illness being shown on this bulletin board in both this and other similar threads. Shamed.

Or maybe the crutch of "mental illness" has become so widespread that people are no longer considered responsible for their own actions. Consider that..

- 20% of teen boys are now diagnosed with ADHD. Most are given prescription drugs. (link)

- 23% of all women ages 40 to 59 are taking prescription antidepressants. (link)

- 70% of Americans are currently taking at least one prescription drug (link).

It makes you wonder how human beings managed to survive for thousands of years without their ritalin and zoloft.

Every day, people get fed up, and quit their jobs with minor rants & tantrums. When JetBlue flight attendant Steven Slater famously quit his job, ranted on the airplane intercom about how he had reached his limit with abusive passengers, grabbed two beers, activated the inflatable exit ramp, and slid away from the plane, he was hailed as a "working class hero". Are you saying that he was mentally ill too?

Sorry, but throwing your lunch tray on the ground, and storming out, does not automatically equate to "mental illness". It likely means that he's under stress, immature, and pissed off.

Gauranteed. Blood in the water, team looking for answers, finger pointing, no leadership, the weak get eaten. Sadly, the opportunity to lead is born in these moments. But it takes a true leader to stand up for another man and bring order back to the chaos.

It doesn't sound like there is a leader in the locker room. If there is, he's not much of one. And maybe part of the problem, as well.

This was a big issue for me with all the offseason moves and it can definitely lead to this kindergarten type atmosphere we seem to have going on.

While there is probably a good bit of misunderstanding of mental illness among the general population, this to me sounds like overwhelm by job stress, rather than "mental illness" as it's typically and traditionally understood.

When things get tough on the job, some people can crack under the pressure. This is why organizations employ EAPs, for example. Don't forget that this is Jonathan Martin's job. He's not just "playing football." He's also employed by an organization.

well lets thank joe philbin for not giving us team captains. I swear to god i never thought i'd say this but joe philbin is starting to make me miss tony sparano.
 
Would be funny if Clabo was the one making the jokes to send him off the deep end.
 
Why can't we just lose a few games too many?You know, like other teams that suck. Every year the place becomes a treatment facility full of embarrassing dysfunction stories that bring national attention. Cursed. Truly cursed. No joke. Cursed
