Johnny Manziel Opens Up About His Bipolar Disorder & Quitting Drinking

Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports

On ABC News' Good Morning America Monday morning, former NFL QB and Heisman Trophy winner, Johny Manziel, talked about recently being diagnosed with bipolar disorder and "self-medicating with alcohol" to escape a lingering depression...

quote:
"I'm working to try and make sure that I don’t fall back into any type of depression, because I know where that leads me and I know how slippery a slope that is for me," Manziel told ABC News' Good Morning America.

"At the end of the day, I can’t help that my wires are a little bit differently crossed than yours. I can’t help my mental makeup of the way that I was created."

not sure what to think. I'm disinclined to believe anything he says, but it's true that many people self-medicate for bipolar or depression. If this is all true, I hope he gets the help and (legal) meds he needs. Will be interesting to see how this all turns out.

BPD typically hits in the early 20's so I could actually believe this.

So he's blaming "how he was made." Not his fault. I see a relapse in his future. Johnny, a hint... we play a part in how we are wired.

He’s not bipolar. He’s an idiot who thought he ruled the world and now he is realizing he doesn’t. I have no sympathy for him.

Poor johnny. He gets depressed when the coke is depleted.
