Diakite: I am not depressed

[W12hoops]

Sparky metioned it in an interview a few days back. But mental illness was not how he worded it. He mentioned a depression, I think.

Ok, must have missed that one. I expressed myself in the same way in another thread and qpr4ver thought it was too strong to define depression as a 'mental illness' and I had to look it up; it's defined as a mental disorder.

BBC reporting it now.

"QPR'S club doctor is making regular visits to Diakite while he recovers" is the only thing I've seen from any of these articles suggesting any journalistic basis to the story.

The question remains in what way is it helpful to Diakite for this information to be out in the public domain?

Get well soon Samba, your a top player and can't wait to have you back!

I googled this and unfortunately the story is now in l'Equipe. I was hoping that it had not made the French newspapers. If he is being monitored properly, he probably won't be given the papers (hope not).

I'm afraid that this might not be something recent, as we never really received an explanation regarding his "virus" at the end of last season.

Really bad news, Hope he recovers soon.

The Independent seem to think he's not suffering from depression?

SSN now reporting that we are denying he has depression, they are saying he has been given compassionate leave to deal with a delicate personal matter

Weird, Seems like the Paper's are just making stuff up about depression which is pretty scummy of them :/ Hope Samba manages to sort out whatever he's gone back to France today. Thankfully we can make do without Samba for the time being. Faurlin is returning to full fitness

More proof that shoddy and Lazy journalists read this site pick up on Cruel and unsubstantiated rumours and turn it into fact! Rememember what goes on the internet stays on the internet and can be misused in any context!

Doesn't help when our own fans start threads claiming to have inside knowledge that the poor fella has lost the plot and may never play again !!!

I have no doubt this story was picked up from Hammersmith 'Super Fan' R's post last weekend....well done!

Can really see a story like this helping Diakite's situation if true, toilet rag of a paper.

Oh turn it in!

If you read my post last week it simply said Diakite may have some mental issues to deal with. This was said to me from someone who I trust. I simply asked, could it be something serious enough where he may not play for us again!

It was left to others to assume it could be depression. I have no idea what the guy has. And as I said, whatever he does have I wish him well and hope he deals with it.

I heard last night that Diakite is coming back next week. He has been named in the '25' so fingers crossed if all has gone well in France he will be available for selection soon. I can't see him playing against the scum.

I think most intelligent people understand how depression works and know it has nothing to do with "how much money you earn",as for the small minority,why not try googling it

I totally agree. I hope he gets better soon, it's a horrible illness!

[winalotto]

Depression is a terrible illness , and i for one wish him all the very best. It doesn't have standards it attacks millionaires and it attack people who haven't got a pot, think its to do with his homeland and some civil problems.

You should have never posted it in the first place IMO, it wouldn't surprise me if your thread was the catalyst for the story hitting the papers. Since posting on this MB I have had 3 direct quotes taken and put in the press so no point saying thepapers don't read the website.

Top top player, hope he gets better soon
