I hate to say it but I've known a few real talented people who have fallen victim to the coke - super talented people who end up with all the symptoms of depression and what most are speculating here as "schizophrenia"
Of course we are all guessing and it's like a 50/50 coin flip at this point - it's either mental illness caused by what doctors have called "Accute Gurley Fear" or it's fucking coke
Let's take a look at some medical cocaine analysis:
Mood symptoms:
- Anxiety
- Restlessness
- Feelings of superiority
- Euphoria
- Panic
- Irritation
- Fearfulness
Behavioral symptoms:
- Extremely talkative
- Increased energy
- Stealing or borrowing money
- Erratic, bizarre behaviors
- Violence
- Abandonment of activities once enjoyed
- Reckless and risky behaviors
Physical symptoms:
- Decreased need for sleep
- Increased need for sleep after usage
- Headaches
- Muscle twitches
- Malnutrition
- Abnormal heart rhythms
- Constriction of blood vessels
- Chronically runny nose
- Nosebleeds
- Nasal perforation
- Hoarseness
- Increase in body temperature
- Increase in heart rate
- Increase in blood pressure
- Decreased appetite
- Dilated pupils
- Sexual dysfunction
- Gangrene of the bowels
- Tremors
- Cravings
Look I hope the guy gets the support he needs and gets back on the field but I am pretty sure whatever malady he's suffering from is self inflicted
Exhibit A: BLOND DREADS
Worst fashion choice ever - now do you blame the blonde dreads in schizophrenia or on pure vanity
I say Pure Vanity and that along with the drafting of Todd Gurley set the dude off somehow - sleepless nights? Punching holes in the wall, Maserati, irrational babbling, etc -- it all spells drug abuse drug abuse drug abuse - and as a guy that likes his ganja I can't see any symptom that you can blame on pot, but yet he's been busted for weed - so you know right off the bat the dude likes a good high. But the symptoms he's displaying aren't pot symptoms but fucking cocaine
The reason he is not reporting is he'll fail a drug test pure and simple
