I sometimes wish the language would change when people experience mental health problems.
Being 'detained' makes it sound like he's done something wrong. Just saying he's been 'taken to hospital' would be enough information.
Anyway, I hope he makes a good recovery. |  | | |

Yes, Everton statement for example is a better use of words.
Good he's receiving help. |  |

I'll have a look for the Everton statement.
I know it's only words but what other health conditions are you 'detained' for? My dad wasn't 'detained' for two weeks when he had a heart attack - he was taken to hospital and looked after.
Still, things have improved since the Sun headline 'Bonkers Bruno Locked Up' when Frank became unwell... | | | |

One of my favourite players when he was at Spurs.
I wish him all the best. [Post edited 3 May 2017 7:15]

"stress related"
how would the poor chap cope if he hasn't led such a privileged life ?
it must be hugely stressful earning fortunes
it must be hugely stressful having no money concerns whatsoever
isn't the "modern" world just great ? | | | |

Here it is
On Tuesday Everton issued a statement which said: 'Aaron Lennon is currently receiving care and treatment for a stress-related illness.
'The club is supporting him through this and his family has appealed for privacy at this time.' | |

i agree with the sentiment, but under the mental health act the terminology is correct. you can be taken to hospital against your will - that is different from being treated for a heart attack. whether the public needs to know that someone has been 'detained' rather than having sought treatment voluntarily is however a good question. do we need to know any more than that he is in hospital - until he chooses to disclose more?

I reckon you're playing up to your image on here with that one - you know better. Must do. |  |

Your last sentence adresses my point well - we only need to know that he's being treated unless he wants to say more.
Changing the terminology is, I guess, the point I'm making. It's like the move to stop using the term 'commit suicide' - it's not a crime so 'commit' is not a good choice of words. [Post edited 3 May 2017 7:53]

I think this again comes down to the language we use. It sounds like Lennon might be very ill but using the term 'stress-related' can demean it.
If someone has lung cancer we don't usually say it's a 'smoking-related' condition and leave out the word cancer.
We don't say someone has a 'weight-related issue' when they have diabetes.
Think of the huge positive outpouring for footballers who have cancer. When Andy Goram talked about his battle with Schizophrenia, fans chose to sing 'Two Andy Gorams, there's only two Andy Gorams'. It may be quite witty but imagine a similar song for someone who had testicular cancer - it would probably be thought of as unacceptable. | | | |

So mental health problems can be cured just by giving people money? Brilliant. Ok people, stop all that treatment nonsense, Taxers has cracked it.
Makes you wonder why Robin Williams killed himself doesn't it? |  |

What a flippant remark Taximan!! We 'all' have elements of mental health issues that can be triggered by anything. Perhaps from Lennon's point of view it is dealing with the pressure and expectations from thousands of fans which has triggered this for him? Yes, he earns thousands of pounds a week, but this doesn't mean that he is exempt from mental health issues! What I'd suggest is you do a bit of reading up on the subject before making ignorant comments, especially as anyone can be susceptible to it, just hope you don't have to go through something similar!!! | |

To be honest, I like the chance to talk about stuff like this and I know that not everyone agrees.
I've had some decent chats with taximan and, whilst we won't always agree, it can be good to talk to people who don't share all of your values. | | | |

That's sad to read. A friend of mine who is ex services was recently sectioned for his own safety after he had a breakdown.
It had been building up since Christmas but since receiving treatment and having counselling and day trips away with Help for Heroes there is a marked difference.
On a side note, I wish I'd logged in before reading this thread. I see a poster has hijacked this thread to have a pop at another poster who hadn't even contributed. Unnecessary baiting. I'm surprised Phil puts up with it tbh. |  |
