The guy has a Borderline Personality Disorder and that has nothing to do with maturity. It's mental disorder that's extremely difficult to treat. Regardless of what's being said here it is fairly resistant to drugs that are traditionally used to treat mood disorders and psychological therapy can be intense, lengthy and may not produce successful results either. Many therapists will shy away from working with individuals diagnosed with BPD.

The fact that it may be deeply rooted in some traumatic experience from the past makes it difficult to treat without intensive psychotherapy which many are unwilling to undergo (not that I say I completely blame them).

In other words BPD is pretty much the atom bomb of psychological disorders and the incident he just went through is a perfect example of how it manifests. Irrational anger coupled with a physical response happens frequently.

Borderline personality disorder: What is it?

11:58 a.m. CDT, March 14, 2012



Newly acquired Bears receiver Brandon Marshall revealed to the South Florida Sun Sentinel last summer that he has been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.

What is it? Experts say that people with BPD have pervasive patterns of unstable emotions. These “inner experiences,” according to an article in PubMedHealth, “often cause them to take impulsive actions and have chaotic relationships.” The disorder was officially recognized by the psychiatric community in 1980.
What are the causes? Exact causes are not fully understood, but social factors, family turbulence and genetics often play roles.

What are the symptoms? According MayoClinic.com, people with BPD exhibit “impulsive and risky behavior, such as risky driving, unsafe sex, gambling sprees or illegal drug use; inappropriate anger; intense but short episodes of anxiety or depression.”

How is it diagnosed? “BPD is diagnosed based on a psychological evaluation and the history and severity of the symptoms,” according to PubMedHealth.

How is it treated? “In the past few decades, treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder has changed radically, and, in turn, the prognosis for improvement and/or recovery has significantly improved,” says the National Education Alliance Borderline Personality Disorder. Treatments include talk therapy, group therapy and regular visits with experienced clinicians. Medications can help level mood swings and treat depression.

This is not something that's 100% curable and in certain individuals only moderately controllable. We should all get ready for some crazy typically unexplainable antics out of Brandon Marshall.

I was just using Cutler's words. lol I totally understand. My wife is a therapist and often comes home with stories from folks with BPD. Yikes! When I told her the Bears got Marshall and that he has BPD she said, "Wow. I'm surprised he can even be successful as a pro athlete."

Then you know exactly what they can be like. I was once engaged to a woman with BPD and as much as I loved her I just could not see trying to cope with that the rest of my life when I have my own issues with a mood disorder to deal with. I've have never experienced such violence and irrational anger from someone as I did from her. Not even an ex-wife could match that.

Shorty if you married two different women with a BPD I really do feel sorry for you but all I can say is, didn't you learn the first time around, LOL.
