Often, mental health issues materialize in the 18-21 year age range. I witnessed it a couple of times with people I grew up with. Arik has a full blown personality disorder and should likely spend a bunch of time in a mental health facility until he figures out a regimen of medicine and therapy that works for him.


I don’t believe that kid has mental issues. That’s an excuse that gets thrown out there every time a young person misbehaves or under performs now.

And If he does have mental issues then why the hell are his parents letting him continue to bounce around from state to state trying to make it in football instead of getting help? His situation is sketchy af and none of it adds up.

I live in Atlanta and have a buddy whose son knows Gilbert. He says it's schizophrenia.

Not everyone has the parents or familial support structure you or I have and he's a legal adult.

It is pretty well-known, from multiple sources, in multiple programs, that he has a diagnosed personality disorder of some sort and has acute episodes. He had a hospital inpatient stay while at LSU for a psych eval.

He has confirmed schizophrenia. A lot of people still think as you do though about mental illness in general, which is sad. Gladly that's dying out.

Nobody gives a shite what you believe. Hes a grown man, his parents can’t make decisions for him anymore.
