Slater tells: my bipolar disorder
The former Test cricketer Michael Slater has revealed he is suffering bipolar disorder and was forced to give up cricket after constant panic attacks and back pain.
Slater said he had suffered feelings of impending doom. "I felt that every day I was going to die," he told Andrew Denton on Enough Rope, which will screen on ABC Television tonight.
The first panic attack was triggered by Slater's first day as a TV cricket commentator in England in 2000. "I just was so nervous, so uptight about it, and after the first day's commentating, I thought I'd done an absolute crap job," he said. disallowed/sport/cricket/slater-tells-my-bipolar-disorder-20050314-gdkx7j.html
