No, but then again those illness's arn't self inflicted.
Before anyone gets all piouse and sentimental if hat man hadn't been Paul Gascoigne most of you on here would walk passed him in the street and just seen another old pee head
But would you have asked yourself what demons lead that guy into the decisions he then made? Or the crutch he then needed to lean on when those demons drove him into desperation?
Everyone has a story to tell.
I am not saying this happened to Gazza, obviously - but it wouldn't take much for any one of us to descend into a personal hell.
The death of a child, a divorce, home repossession, job redundancy...these all lead to feelings of inadequacy and loneliness and depression that can drive us to rely on a 'medicine' that makes it all numb for a little while.
I can see your point, really I can...when people are offered all the help possible and still refuse it, they are making some awful decisions and deeply frustrate the people around them.
But some people can't crawl out of the hole they have dug for themselves as it's just too dark at the bottom of that pit...
