generalized anxiety disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder (which white also suffers from) is not a joke, it is a not uncommon and very serious condition that can effect every part of one's life, and if left misdiagnosed or improperly treated, culminating eventually in suicide attempts. by telling him to "be an adult" or "man up", you are now guilty of having participated in the biggest problem in this society at large, which is blaming the individual living with brain disorders. rather than stigmatizing these individuals and making them feel ashamed or guilty for having a mental illness, we should be as supportive as we can rather than giving this guy more grief and blaming him. i like basketball. it's also just a game. this guy is a human being, not a uniform and it's unfortunate that so many people seem to care more about their favorite sports team than the well-being of their fellow man.
doc drew discussing royce white's life long struggle with GAD and OCD:
