Who's to say that it hasn't impacted his play? Dude's been through a lot.

I think we should stop acting like mental health doesn't impact our lives. Seems like you'd like to wash over it and not address it. Truth is our could be the very thing that's caused his gameto suffer. It might not be and could be unrelated, but bringing it up isn't such a horrible thing and isn't shaming. Gotta stop that "this is shaming" crap when others have different opinions.

Apparently if you use the word depression, it is shaming.
