Help For Mike Tyson Is Needed!

Posted By: C. Joyce Farrar-Rosemon on October 27, 2009 The interview with Mike Tyson on Oprah brought me to tears. What is happening to the black male? My prayer is that someone close to him has the empathy, insight and guts to do an intervention and get him into therapy. He is extremely depressed and appears suicidal. Someone needs to be the Good Samaritan and help a brother when he is down- that's what friends are for. My prayers goes out to Mike and his family.

I agree in part- but Mike, and that's the main focus of this article, doesn't need my money. The issue is getting him some therapy so that we don't lose another famous Mike. It's evident, as it was with MJ, that despite their fame, both brothers were and in Tyson's case, (is still) severely depressed. Untreated depression can lead to self-destructive behavior or suicide! Tyson needs help before he self destructs.
