HarryBosch Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Its not much of a surprise to see he's now saught specialist help. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/8993837.stm I hope he gets well soon :lol: :lol: in what way is he not "well"??? what a non story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 :lol: :lol: in what way is he not "well"??? what a non story :ranting: He is depressed (being a heavy drinker certainly won't help), therefore he is unwell. Without speaking to him I can easily see how he scores 12 (minimum) on a depression score thing. For the average person, 12 would mean some treatment for depression is needed, in Ricky's case the best treatment is to go to rehab. If he cuts down on his drinking and stops the coke, his score will reduce significantly and other treatments won't work until he does so. Just because someone isn't having fluids leave their system involuntarily, can move about with no restrictions, isn't a funny colour and doesn't have a temperature doesn't mean they aren't unwell and the sooner people like you realise that the better.

leeslover Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Which drinking more than the Chief Medical Officer recommends could I suppose point to depression, it could also be a sign of a) enjoying the taste of the drink or b ) enjoying being drunk.

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I'm not one of those people who think depression isn't an illness. Maybe he is depressed and needs help. But was he depressed before or after the Screws rumbled him or before or after retaining Max Clifford. The whole thing stinks. Plenty of others his age take coke and get fearsome drunk, including Screws journalists, yet they're not obliged to hire Clifford and check in with a head doctor.

The most important thing here is the arbitrary score. Perhaps SSN could keep us updated by having a little display of Ricky's score in graph format in real time.

I love how you belittle me at every opportunity, yet consistently jump to the wrong conclusions about what I have to say. Since you persist on doing it, then go on Ms. Expert enlighten us with your expertise........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you apart from the idea his Dad has been trying to get him to see someone for a bit. Maybe it was all a set-up to give Ricky a wake-up call and help make a friend (the original female boxer has known him for a bit) a bit of cash on the side out of the papers.

oafc0000 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 (edited) You have to feel for Hatton... Such a tough life... Must be a real struggle for him I do find it interesting how people have sympathy for his terrible plight... Over paid millionaire druggy scum bag gets caught.. Sorry but just feel there are better cases for sympathy... Edited September 24, 2010 by oafc0000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
