Really no shocker to be honest. Hope he takes the meds and keeps it in check.

I never understood the whole bi-polar thing. It seems to me that one pole is just the same as the other.

Except for penguins, of course.

The Poles are an independent and autonomous people, and I don't believe they consider themselves to be under penguin domination.

Borderline Personality Disorder, not Bi-Polar

Miami Dolphins receiver Brandon Marshall has been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, the Sun-Sentinel reported Sunday.

Two very different disorders.

How is stuff like this news? All you have to do is look at him and what's he's done and it's pretty easy to put two and two together

Well if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it's probably a duck. Confirmation is not a bad thing.

Well it's as much for Brandon as it is for us. Sometimes in therapy it's helpful for people to open up about their situation. Especially for a guy like this and the things he's had going on the past year. Plus he wants to help other people.

"Before this ordeal I kept asking God to show me my purpose. He gave me this," Marshall said. "I'll be the face of BPD. I'll make myself vulnerable if it saves someone's life because I know what I went through this summer helped save mine."


Hope he gets the help he needs, the guy is very talented.

I always thought that most Card fans were a little bi-polar myself because of all the stress we fans face.

I would hope people take this seriously. BPD is a serious issue, and though it is in a sense a "learned" disorder, it cause people a lot of harm. I have had several court-appointed clients who suffered from BPD, and it is extremely difficult for them to conduct themselves normally. Marshall's outrageous and unapologetically poor actions are exactly the kinds of things that happen to someone with BPD. It's tough to snap out of it as well, because it literally effects your personality and in a sense becomes who you are.

It is big time for him to admit and acquiesce to vulnerability, and I hope he is able to overcome the issues it has cause for him, because he is a once in a lifetime freakishly talented athlete.
