I didn't suggest that. I was clearly taking the piss. I even used the sarcasm face didn't I?
Edit: what crap about players getting treatment outside the club. That's a fact. Not all players. Some players. Mostly retired players now. I would assume it still happens.
You should actually know that a GP can refer you for a mental health plan and then refer you to a psychologist or another professional who then diagnoses you with anxiety or depression or psychosis or whatever else the issue is.
I know this has happened - player told me years ago about how he went to an outside doc because he was concerned if the club learned the possible diagnosis it would be career over
naive to think it still doesnt happen, esp in the areas of mental illness and substance abuse
