2Which medical condition did Dwayne overcome?
During his time in Miami, he injured his shoulder. The absence from the field and fight with the recovery sent him into depression. Talking to Hollywood Reporter, he said about the subject: “I didn’t know what it was. I didn’t know why I didn’t want to do anything. I had never experienced anything like that.”
Later, during his life he gave a thorough explanation and some advice for people who are going through it on Oprah Show: “I found that, with depression, one of the most important things you could realize is that you’re not alone. You’re not the first to go through it; you’re not going to be the last to go through it … I wish I had someone at that time who could just pull me aside and [say], ‘Hey, it’s gonna be OK. It’ll be OK.’ ”
