Konnan Reveals He Suffers From Manic Depressive Disorder

Konnan had a lot to say about the erratic nature of many
of wrestling's top stars over the years. He even revealed for the first
time that he himself suffers from Manic Depressive Disorder.


"When I was 16 years old, I had gotten arrested and they sent me to a
psychologist to see what my problem was. They said that I was a manic
depressive and I got scared because I heard the word 'manic.' What am I,
a maniac or something? But that would happen to me. Sometimes I would
go into these deep funks of depression where I just didn't want to talk
to anybody or do anything. I didn't want to be around anybody, but then I
would have these super euphoric highs where I just wanted to talk to
everybody and I was in a really crazy mode."


"I would go between these two things and I remember talking to Raven,
who is another very creative guy and he used to tell me to take Zoloft.
He said it was an antidepressant. So I would take it, but I think I
wouldn't take enough or I wouldn't take it long enough."
