Great for him to release a statement, I was concerned it would be swept under the carpet and never talked about. Mental Illness is so much more common than people realise. Slowly starting to be respected for what it is

So did Majak jump because of mental illness?
Or did Majak jump because he consumed some meds, had a bit to drink, tripped out and fought with his partner?
Two different issues here....
Great to hear from Majak and that he's doing well (as well as can be)
Interesting that Consistently Knowing All cancelled the day he/she posted this. Maybe anticipated backlash.Does it matter?
The issue is Majak's well being and depression/suicide.

I for one agree. There is a big difference between someone with a genuine mental illness and someone who makes a stupid/reckless decision fuelled by alcohol/drugs and desire to 'punish' partner after row. I don't believe that Majak genuinely set out to suicide, his fairly mild injuries attest to this.

I know when I set out to jump off the longest bridge in Australia I do so only for a laugh.Fairly mild?

One misconception that people need to get over is that rich, famous people have nothing to complain about or shouldn't be depressed, because they have more than most.
Depression doesn't work that way. It is a chemical imbalance in the brain, which some people are vulnerable to. Anything can trigger it, and someone with every reason to be happy can still suffer deep depression and not know why they feel the way they do.
Depression doesn't discriminate, and can affect rich and poor alike.
Well, I don't know what info you've got but allegedly Majak fell 25m. It's a scientific fact that it generally take about a 75m fall in order to be fatal. A 25m drop wouldn't do you much good though and the injuries he sustained are probably typical. Just saying.Whether he set out to or not is moot, the survival rate jumping from that bridge is near enough 0%

I'm as pleased as anyone that he's ok btw but unfortunately young men in particular will always make poor decisions when under influence.
It's not the physical injuries that will decide I wouldn't think. Life in the AFL system for a player is stressful and it's a clinical judgement, and ultimately his decusion, whether he should step away.Well, I don't know what info you've got but allegedly Majak fell 25m.

I hope and pray his mental state is ok. If he wishes to return, I pray he will make it back from such shocking injuries.
Surprised this thread has not had a bump.
Great to see Majak back on the track and smiling .
He was in footy gear and training with the squad.Have not seen or heard that but that is great news. How injured does he look?
