Brain Damage and Suicide

Andre Watters 44 took his life last November. According to an Associated Press article a pathologist, "... told the newspaper the signs of depression that family members described Waters as exhibiting in his final years likely was caused by the brain trauma. Had he lived, Omalu said, the former player would have been fully incapacitated within 10 years".

After performing an autopsy the pathologist indicated there was severe damage to the brain.

There is great concern by Water's family about sending football players back on the field after a concussion. They feel this shouldn't be happening.

Another family devastated by suicide.

I have started college and have begun working on my Masters of Counseling Degree. I will probably have less time to blog but I hope to share some of my thoughts.

I hope that you will start your own blog and let me know about it so I can read your thoughts.

Take care and say a prayer for the Water's family.
