Football Miami Dolphins Star Jonathan Martin Being Treated For PTSD - Page 8

Miami Dolphins offensive tackle Jonathan Martin is being treated for post-traumatic stress disorder and depression amidst allegations that he was threatened, harassed and menaced by teammates, chiefly Richie Incognito, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.

Martin, 24, is not expected to report back to the team anytime soon, as he works with specialists in Los Angeles and awaits clearance to return.

We’re now learning exactly what he’s being treated for.

“It’s depression and PTSD… which is directly related to the bullying he endured by Richie and other teammates,” a source close to the situation told Radar.

“Jonathan wants to play football again, but he absolutely can’t play for the Miami Dolphins. That said, football isn’t the focus right now. It’s receiving treatment and moving forward.”

The insider said Martin “hates all of the publicity this has gotten,” but added that when the time is right, “Jonathan will speak out about what really happened” inside the Dolphins locker room.

As we previously reported, the Dolphins have suspended Incognito while an investigation takes place — a club suspension for conduct detrimental to the team has a maximum of four weeks, per the league’s collective bargaining agreement. Incognito could appeal as well.

Last weekend, 30-year-old Incognito sat down with Jay Glazer of FOX in an effort to explain vicious voicemails and text messages he’d left for Martin.

“This is not an issue about bullying. This is an issue about my and John’s relationship. I had Jonathan Martin’s back the absolute most,” he said, in the interview.

He also claimed that Martin once texted HIM that he was going to kill “my entire family.”

It was just the way they communicated, Incognito said.

Meanwhile, the NFL formally asked Dolphins owner, Steve Ross, and the team’s CEO, Tom Garfinkel, to postpone their meeting with Martin.

“Ted Wells and the National Football League have asked that we delay our meeting with Jonathan Martin until they have the opportunity to meet with him,” Garfinkel said in a statement earlier this week.

“Out of deference to the process, we will cooperate with their request. We look forward to meeting with Jonathan as soon as possible.”

Martin is expected to meet with the Ted Wells, the special investigator appointed by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in the next few days, a source said.

“Jonathan’s lawyer, David Cornwell has been in constant contact with Ted. The NFL has been very supportive of Jonathan and respects that he is dealing with a very serious mental health conditions,” the source added.

Martin’s lawyer, David Cornwell, didn’t immediately respond to multiple requests for comment.

But this is not a parallel. Different people respond differently to different stimuli. Simply put, things affect people differently.

I wholeheartedly agree.

That does not change the fact that some people can hang, and some people cannot.

He cannot hang.

Let's see...

A former soldier who killed people in hand-to-hand combat and saw several close friends die in horrible ways.

A teenager who was physically and emotionally abused from early childhood.

A woman who was stalked and raped by her ex-husband.

A multimillionaire celebrity athlete who got yelled at in a locker room.

One of these things is not like the others.

If you could give me a specific instance, I'd be more than willing to listen. But I have no less than a dozen close friends (and parents of friends) that are doctors and therapists that would scoff at your assertion.

I'm sure you do and I am by no means claiming that I know for a fact the motivations of each and every health care professional individually.

It's moreso the system than it is the people that are in it, if you feel what I'm saying. Big business, corporations- all that jazz.

Eh, whatever...having the discipline and drive to make it to the big league at all is incredibly impressive. Even though some events have put him in a situation.

Oh, I thought you were referring to this part:

95% of the world has lived a more ****ed up life, and they get along just fine.

There's a big difference between professional doctors, therapists, etc. and Big Pharma.

For example, one of my neighbors is a clinical psychologist that also happens to be a USC professor. He has children my children's age and we've become friends over the years. Long story short, his objective for teaching is this: Medicate as a last resort.

Doctors truly have to want to help other people. They can't just do it for the money because it's not an easy job. With anything in life, to be successful, you must have passion. Without it, you'll fail.

I get your point, but every mind is different - trauma - any type - can manifest itself in numerous ways. The idea that this well bred and educated man is somehow doing this for money - some of which is guaranteed anyway - is sorta silly.

Very true and I'm thankful for the bolded part.

You seem to be of the opinion that ALL doctors are, well, kind of like Frankie's mom.

I would think that soldiers, so many of whom suffered through undiagnosed PTSD for years because people back home thought that "winning the war" and "surviving" were cause for celebration and not pain, would be slightly more understanding of the foggy terrain of the human mind. None of us know the inside of a person's head, and the simple "don't be a bitch" response is not only unfair, it is unhealthy and dangerous.

The fact is, pain is pain. Trauma is trauma. It doesn't matter how it happens or why, the effect is still the same. If I go to war and another guy goes to the office, our minds and our hearts can't tell the difference between those environments. So, outsiders might consider my pain "valid" and his "pussified," but the truth is they might take equal tolls on our nervous systems.

At this point in my life, I am more inclined to not judge anyone else's experiences. **** you for judging mine, so **** me for judging yours.

On a more specific note, mixed race can be even more difficult than it seems, as sometimes you aren't ever really accepted by either. I know of one very close contact who lived through that and it put her into a psychiatric ward.
