From someone who's experienced the effects of depression firsthand people like Geoff Boycott make me sick, he doesnt deserve to still be in a job, if Keys/Gray got shot down over there comments why shouldn't Boycott. More than likely it will be brushed aside as most people see depression as nothing serious, certain people need to open their eyes.

It took me 23yrs before I was finally diagonsed with depression. Its very cycical and creeps up on you. I left my last club because the pressures of taking on the captaincy at very short notice before the start of the season,no players to pick from etc.. It made me ill. I joined a new club,told them what had happened and just turned up to play, with no pressure. Averaged 42 and the buggers have made me vice for next yr! It does put you in a dark place joking aside. I sat on the edge of a rock face on Kinder Scout in a blizzard not really caring if I fell 500ft or not. Id driven off from  work  after just losing the ability to speak while in a meeting.. walked out of office got in car ,drove to Edale and walked on the kinder plateau ( 2000 ft up, very artic in winter) in daze. A chance phone call from an old friend at that moment saved me I think.

Still on medication and a nightmare to live with

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

I know how bad depression can be after my father suffered from it, he killed himself due to it, it's about time people started to understand the seriousness of it

His words are even more foolish when you remember that he played with David Bairstow the Yorkshire keeper who took his own life. There is a book,written by Firth I think, specifically about cricketing suicides. He should apologise or go :(

Boycott did of course play with David Bairstow.
The book referred to is called 'silence of the heart'

Not even going to justify it by copying it here. Disgraceful stuff.

When will people learn it is a dreadfully serious illness, not 'being a bit weak'.

I have seen many men with depressiona and post traumatic stress

Some do not believe in it it is a grave illness indeed and a bigger killer tham people could imagine

The truth is no matter who you are it can happen and it is real my simpothy  and empothy goes out to you if you do

What Boycs said was very out of order, and typical Boycs. He doesn't understand it and considers it a weakness rather what it really is.

Fair play to Yardy for coming straight to the point, and hopefully getting back home to family and friends will help him sort out this latest round of his illness.
