OT: Raiders star Chandler Jones claims was taken to a mental health hospital against his will

[203Pat]

He's been really losing it on Twitter over the last few weeks. Seems to be some sort of mental health issue and it looks like people have tried to get him help a few times but so far it doesn't look like he wants to be helped.

It's hard to accept. You think you're fine since you can perform most functions normally, you can do math as well as you used to, you can drive your car and make rational decisions at the wheel. You do a lot of things rationally and thus believe yourself rational. You ignore, justify, or flat out deny the things that are wrong. You sound rational when you talk to yourself (or your lackeys). It's when you talk to other people that problems arise. Frustration flares up at any suggestion that you're not fine. You know you're perfectly fine. Everyone else be tripping...

I don't know how this can end well for him.

Just read the article and I have to say it offers a very plausible argument, particularly with the level of THC being completely unregulated.

And if I'm not wrong, synthetic pot is a whole new level of potency.

Meh, it's not claiming too much really. It just addresses a correlation, out of an observational study in fact.

Determining associations is an important step, as it can inform later studies.

Here's another study that argues against such a claim: Influence of cannabis use on incidence of psychosis in people at clinical high risk - PubMed

To discern the true relation of patients who self-medicate and its relation to their mental health is a tough task, one that epidemiological studies might only chip the first step at.

sounds like a 72 hour hold?

What is a Nevada 72 hour hold? A defense lawyer explains

A Nevada 72-hour hold is when a person in a mental illness crisis gets placed under medical observation and treatment for three days.

I have a very close friend who suffers from bipolar-schizophrenia. Truly is an existential hell that, though I've seen it develop from nothing to full-blown in someone, I still can't imagine what their reality is like. And that's tough, because I think folks have a hard time sympathizing with it - a lot of it simply "doesn't make sense" to those of us fortunate to have a clean bill of mental health. It can even take family members years to accept the severity.

Medication is super important and literal minutes after a missed dose can spell a troubling episode.

**** is sad. I hated watching it play out.

Didn't he have a similar incident as a Pat when he took some of that phony Made-in-China weed they sell at truck stops? He's a doper, methinks. I wish him well, but drugging is a choice, after all.

 

[203Pat]

He apparently posted a long video rambling and ranting while outside by a fire somewhere. He ranted about how CTE isn't real and how Larry Fitzgerald and Terrell Suggs acted weird around him because they're being controlled now that they're retired.

Edit: I don't know even know what you do for this guy if he doesn't want help. I am hoping this story doesn't go the way it's looking right now.

I listened to his bizarre rant that started in the dark just before dawn. Just him, two fires, a fire extinguisher, and his unfriendly dog.

He ended up overloading one of the fires with excess logs of store-bought wood. His neighbors must think he’s a menace.

I had to put together furniture.

It is an incoherent mash with the n word liberally sprinkled throughout. I thought that word is hateful and unacceptable.

At the end he starts crying about Aaron Hernandez, implying he was killed. I think he uses McDaniels’s name as the culprit.

Yeah, he’s not well.

And, apparently, somehow Aaron Hernandez was killed in an industrial park, not in prison.

Not sure how you can help people who refuse help.
Delicate situation hopefully it all works out

 

[Joey007]

Not to speculate, but his mental state right now almost seems borderline scizophrenic. He almost seems like he's experiencing delusions he fully believes.

I really hope he gets the help he needs and soon. Seems to be in a state that he doesn't even realize he's in.

What in the world lmao this is getting crazy

True! If someone will not acknowledge that they have a problem, they cannot be helped.

It crossed the line into crazy well over a week ago when he accused Mark Davis of knowing about and covering up for the person who was actively molesting Jones' step daughter (or goddaughter - the story changes each time Jones tells it).

Chandler arrested in Vegas


DE Jones, away from Raiders, arrested in Vegas

Arrest might be the best thing for him now. It seems like he was racing towards a worse end.

Hopefully they'll get him the help he obviously needs

I think Chandler Jones just passed Antonio Brown in terms of crazy...

 

[Ross12]

I just saw he's been arrested now.
