Mental illness is real and serious and deserves treatment but add head inuries on to that and you need a person under constant observation and not in the Senate.
Breaking Free: My Life with Dissociative Identity Disorder Paperback – Illustrated, January 13, 2009
Walker reportedly suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder, formerly known as multiple personality disorder, which Grossman claimed surfaced during their marriage.
She told ABC News in 2008 that she didn't know what Walker was going through at the time as he shifted from a football career to ballet and the military.
In Walker's tell-all book, Breaking Free, he revealed he suffers from a mental illness, but it wasn't until he saw a therapist that they could identify the problem.
Walker's therapist, Jerry Mungadze, told the outlet that he had met Walker's alternate personalities during their therapy sessions.
"They will come out and say, I am so-and-so. I'm here to tell you Herschel is not doing too good ... When he finishes, it would just disappear back in him, and Herschel comes out," Mungadze said.
Grossman recalled an incident while she was pregnant and claimed her then-husband told her: "Close the door. I am having bad thoughts. I am thinking I am going to hurt you."
We were talking and the next thing I knew, he just kind of raged and he got a gun and put it to my temple," she claimed.
She said she came to believe that it was one of Walker's alternate personalities who were in control during that moment.
"There was somebody there that was evil," she said.
Walker told the outlet he had no memory of the event, nor does he remember winning the Heisman Trophy in 1982.
Although he said he doesn't remember the events, Walker didn't deny doing it. "No, I don't remember that," he said, adding: "but I probably did it."
Read this article, as it is very scary. I don’t know which Herschel the people of Georgia are voting for but none of these Walkers need to be in the Senate. Not the ballet dancer, or the marine, or the sports star. I wish this man no harm but health. Donald Trump put him up and is a mental case IMO . Donald Trump wants to destroy his party and the country.
Can you imagine with this person with this kind of serious illness from no fault of their own, that it is possible that they could break out in a ballet dance or start running through the Senate with a weapon like Rambo or running with a football. He couldn’t help it either. Stress is not good for a mental illness of any sort but we are talking personality disorder.
I am not making fun or light of this sick individual but I feel his therapist needs to come out and make a statement. It would be a shame for someone with this kind of documented illness to flip and hold the Senate literally hostage thinking they were the enemy. I think he believes all he says whether it is true or not. He believes he is now the politician to serve the people of Ga. Is this another personality that has emerged?
He told the outlet that people shouldn't feel "ashamed" to confront their mental health problems and called Grossman his "best friend."
Walker claimed he and Grossman are still "good friends" although she filed a protective order against him in 2005.
According to court records obtained by AP News, Grossman's sister claimed that Walker “stated unequivocally that he was going to shoot my sister Cindy and her boyfriend in the head."
I say again, mental illness is real and it is horrid. Today is Veterans Day and I have dealt with many veterans suffering from mental illness just trying to get a claim through. They had problems with paperwork and control .
It is sad and I think the people putting this man up for Senate are acting in a cruel way to gain power. I care about politics but not to the point of putting lives in danger. This man is sick according to the facts from his wife and kids.
I would be urging people to not vote any person into the Senate with this serious of an illness.
This is not a partisan issues. This is a mental health issue.
