Famous Bipolar People

JONATHAN HAY - FAMOUS BIPOLAR SPORTSMAN

Jonathan Hay is a famous former Australian footballer. He was born in Kalgoorlie on August 13, 1979. He earned a reputation as a defender in Australian football and his brilliant performance in the Australian league.

 

Jonathan attended Kalgoorlie Catholic Primary School, where he began his football career. He continued at John Paul College, where he was a student. Hay played on the reserve bench of East Fremantle Football Club in Perth and subsequently drafted by Hawthorn Football Club. He sustained an injury from which he recovered quickly and went back to the Hawthorn Club. During this period, he was selected into the All-Australian team. Jonathan was later taken into the Kangaroos football club. He however made too many mistakes on the field of play, passing ball to opponent players. Kangaroos dropped Hay and he got to play for Tasmanian Devils, though his contract was paid in full. His retirement was announced in 2007 when the Kangaroos played their first NAB Cup game in 2007. He signed with another club two years later but his ambition was short-lived as he broke a tendon during a training drill session.

 

Jonathan suffered a severe depression, leading to bipolar disorder. His performance and concentration on the field of play dropped. He was always in a poor shape and got aggressive at the least provocation. He admitted in a media interview that he had bipolar disorder and that his poor performance was due to his over reliance on the prescribed medication. Jonathan also confessed that there has been someone who has stalked him for years. During the days of depression, Jonathan could not do anything. Even the task of unpacking his boot bag was a huge problem for him.
