Terry Bradshaw

Terry Bradshaw is a Hall of Fame Quarterback and retired from the Pittsburgh Steelers.

"I was diagnosed with clinical depression about 10 years ago," says Bradshaw, who won four Superbowls. "When you're clinically depressed the serotonin in your brain is out of balance and probably always will be out of balance. So I take medication to get that proper balance back. I'll probably have to be on it the rest of my life."

 

"I could not bounce back from my divorce – emotionally – I just could not bounce back," Bradshaw says. "With any bad situations I'd experienced before – a bad game or my two previous divorces – I got over them. This time I just could not get out of the hole. The anxiety attacks were frequent and extensive. I had weight loss, which I'd never had before. I couldn't stop crying. And if I wasn't crying, I was angry, bitter, hateful and mean-spirited. I couldn't sleep – couldn't concentrate. It just got crazy."
