Brandon Marshall

The NFL player, nicknamed ‘The Beast’, had to come face-to-face with the disorder as it almost landed him in prison.

In a Players Tribune article, Marshall recalled: “I remember the doctors there gave me a pamphlet on BPD, explaining the signs and symptoms, and I started highlighting the things I had been feeling.

“When they diagnosed me, I just … exhaled — like the biggest exhale of my life. It was just a huge relief.

“My emotions had been controlling me, and I was trapped — not by anything external, but by things that were inside me. But I couldn’t be the one to help myself. I needed to seek help.”
