John Daly

John Daly has Bipolar Disorder, which is also known as manic-depressive illness, it is a brain disorder that causes unusual shifts in a person's mood, energy, and ability to function. Much different from the normal ups and downs that everyone goes through, the symptoms of bipolar disorder are severe.

>Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
>Loss of interest in taking part in activities

>Avoiding other people
>Overwhelming feelings of sadness or grief
>Felling unreasonably guilty
>Loss of energy, feeling very tired
>Thoughts of death or suicide
