You have described a reason for gen z suffering from depression. How does this differ in impact from soul-destroying, bottomless pit black dog type of real depression/"mental illness? Should this be treated or viewed differently?Every time I hear about another elite sportsperson, who is getting an paid outrageous amount of money to do the kind of thing millions of kids would kill just to have the opportunity to do what theyre doing, take "time away" for "mental illness", i find myself wondering how much of it is really the kind of soul-destroying, bottomless pit black dog type of real depression/"mental illness", as opposed to being simply a deflated and despondent Im-a-victim type mindset which, like weeds amongst your tomato plants, finds fertile ground in the comparatively unresilient minds of this younger generation of millenials/gen z's. When one grows up in an environment - whether at home, school, sports clubs wherever - where one has been told they're a winner at everything and been wrapped up in fairy floss all their lives by helicopter parents, and who measure their self-worth in how many likes they get on their faux-real life staged insta pics its hard to develop the normal mental resilience and motivational behaviours in order to cope with the experiences of failure, having to take personal responsibility for ones own actions and the confronting reality in the face of rejection that there is always someone out there who is better at something than you are unless you work hard and put in the effort to achieve and life isnt going to be handed to you on a silver platter like it may have been previously. I wonder how much of this increasing "mental illness" trend seen in young people is more down to this extreme cognitive dissonance and the shock to their systems when experiencing the harsh reality of life for perhaps the first time whilst not having developed in their childhood/teenage years the mental skills and faculties needed to cope in a well-adjusted way instead of it causing psychological injuries or disturbance; than it is to an actual increased incidence of real clinical depression or personality-type disorders (save for narcissism...we all know thats definitely on the rise ) amongst the population?
Or the boots are s**t and he has a bit of honesty about him?“No more @newbalanceaustralia boots Thank god”
Nice way to burn a bridge... I guess he really has matured as a person!

Yes, well the form I was talking about was clinical major depressive disorder, which can be caused by a number of things ie. trauma, abuse, severe stress, biochemical factors including PND, long term substance abuse etc no one person is the same, but underpinning all of these causalities there is strong research that, and it is generally accepted (well certainly all the experts in their respective fields i have had dialogue with over the years with my work have regarded it as fact) that major clinical depression is in most causes caused by neurotransmitter dysfunction and the disruption to the pathways of specifically serotonin, dopamine and...noradrenaline I think from memory it is? Lol im a lawyer not a doctor, but Im 99% sure its those three, in addition to some structural differences in the size of certain parts due to the brain shrinking in persons who are depressed. Which are in most cases the result of genetics, a smaller portion due to environmental factors that cause the biochemical imbalance.You have described a reason for gen z suffering from depression.

Lol i believe after all of the tangent walkabouts and robust debate about the socially-defining challenges and moral dilemmas we are facing as a society, that was precisely the point we're all in varying degrees of agreement or not about. Some of us think that sure Beamsy, the boots might be s**t but the shoe obviously fit when they were paying you to say how good they were which you had no problem with and fulfilled your end of the commercial arrangement no probs everyones a winner and winners are grinners. But to turn around when theyre no longer paying you to be a insta mouthpiece just like any other plastic 'influencer' out there, and say the boots u previously extolled the virtues of are s**t and then use it to pimp the rival product of whos currently bankrolling and thus dictating to you what your personal style and tastes are...it makes you look like a dick. An ungrateful and completely un-self-aware dick at that who doesnt realise hes just making himself look like he'll sell his soul to the highest bidder and theres no real genuineness behind the shameless pimping of commercial inducements to his thousands of little kid fans, who'll then no doubt run and beg nag scream and cajole their poor parents into buying the same footy boots as beamer wears. But they're too young and innocent to the wicked and insidious ways of the world to realise theyre simply buying a lie and their behaviour as "consumers" is being manipulated. And think beamsy should have at least retained what little shred of dignity he has left after all this influencing monkey business hes engaging in by maintaining a somewhat dignified silence in that you dont slag off your ex anythings in public, its an unwritten rule in life.Or the boots are s**t and he has a bit of honesty about him?
If Beams hated New Balance so much he could have stopped wearing them and handed back the money.
Pretty poor way to treat a company that sponsored you.

Sorry ... but... who are you? And who exactly is your source for this information?Just an update. Beams hasn’t been training this week or last. Mental health is the reason he has given.
Word from inside the club is he will likely never be in a position to play again.
I can tell you the players and officials are all completely over him. If only you knew half of what has gone on with him.
Haha I probably fit 1 of those criteria but not the other. I’m an Asics man.Do you have a pair? Speaking from experience?

There has been so many rumours fly about in this thread. A majority of which have never proven to be true. I am getting sick of it. Give this man a break.
Don't leave us hanging, how do you know this? Are you a Carlton supporter?Just an update. Beams hasn’t been training this week or last. Mental health is the reason he has given.

Being a Barrister (as you say you are) wouldn't you need some evidence to make your argument against Beams?Lol i believe after all of the tangent walkabouts and robust debate about the socially-defining challenges and moral dilemmas we are facing as a society, that was precisely the point we're all in varying degrees of agreement or not about.

Others are of the opinion that he has mental illness so that excuses him from the scrutiny or reproach of anyone, either that or because he's back in the black...and white
Sorry, what argument am i "making against beams"? I made a comment on how i perceived the public comments that he made in light of the fact he had previously been quite happy to accept their sponsorship money and pimp out their product then when the commercial deal was concluded he bags them out. I made no other comment about him or his life or the challenges he is facing, apart from some general social commentary based on my own experiences which I did not in any way infer that that was about him.

Could you provide us with that evidence so we can test it?
