Walker has Multiple Personality Disorder?

[TennTradition]

How does someone who is in the public eye go without this being revealed? I'll admit that I don't know that much about the disease, but this is a big surprise to me.

Wow. That is crazy.

That's a pretty controversial diagnosis (e.g. does it truly exist?) among psychologists - I have a nasty suspicion that he's been swindled by a quack shrink.

Maybe it is the dangerous multiple personalities of "I want to run left", "I want to run right", and "I want to run up the middle." It seems like every other play he is a different personality.

I wonder how they truly diagnose this disease.

Three heads in a row and you're screwed!

We have a Psych Ward in our hospital and often deliver meds on that unit. You see patients walking around, on the phone or sitting in a chair outside the nursing area. I wonder what kind of life they have lived, or what is going on that life is so terrible that they tried to hurt themselves. It makes my life look like a breeze and glad I am not in their shoes, It's sad.

I think Walker hit Bill Bates so hard that he knocked the personality out of him and has been carrying it around ever since.

whatever they are, I bet both are fast as all hell but speak some horrendous form of broken english.

The diagnosis certainly surprised his Dawg teammate Frank Ros... Maybe he has squandered his fortune...

Yep, his doctor is a total quack:

Walker's father thinks the diagnosis is crap, too:

Again, it's sad. If you're a celebrity of average intelligence, you really need to have a good attorney or somebody advising you all the time, because charlatans and thieves will always be circling around you.

It gets better:

"Mungadze, who has a Ph.D. in counselor education, and a minor in psychology from the University of North Texas."

Woo boy - he's an expert then, with a Ph.D. in counselor education, whatever the hell that is.

I'm sure Herschel has been defrauded to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars, if not more.

hahahahaha no joke

good lord... that was someone proving, unless there was any doubt, that they are a full grown man.

That is weird though, first anybody has ever heard of it??

It sounds like this was a surprise to everyone who has known him (at least those who have spoke out so far). It sounds very weird to me...
