I was under the assumption that work was not a contributory factor to the stress

It is no good any of us assuming or surmising as we simple do not know what has triggered or contributes to his stress. Work may not be the cause but once the illness triggered work may well contribute more to the illness.

It is difficult to answer on individual cases, however generally if a client is suffering an episode of stress/anxiety/depression they will be feeling very low, it is highly likely they are suffering with sleep & possible eating problems due to lack of appetite. The treatment will consist of a plan for the individual to feel strong again and resume their daily routines (work included), this can take a few weeks, months or years.They maybe offered medication and/or counselling also it is worth noting their employers often send for reports from their GP/mental health team.

And even if your assumption were correct, do you really think that someone who may well be medicated, not sleeping well, and not eating properly is in a fit condition to train for and play in a sport like pro RL?

Yeah, but, you know, he should just get over it. You know, get a grip (what other good ones are they, oh yes...), snap out of it.

The shear ignorance of the severity of depression, and the idiocy of suggesting that going to the cinema is proof that he is well enough to work is truly shocking.

I appreciate it is often a difficult illness to understand, however like mentioned it can be a very dangerous illness, and I sincerely hope you can go through your life without a loved one or yourself becoming a victim.

The reality is not that many supporters buy that he has Stress/Depression. Therefore the sympathy level is going to be minimal at best.

And there is the problem in this whole debate - my opinion is that a lot of people on here are arguing about the issue of stress releated illnesses and what they really want to say is that their gut feeling is that we have a Hull FC player that is taking the p**s.

People need to stop talking round their opinions, and call a spade a spade.
