Bruno speaks out on bipolar
The former world heavyweight champion, who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2003, told ITV1’s This Morning programme: “When the bipolar was coming on, I was doing some odd things and I’m glad I got hold of it when I did and got to the hospital and my daughter and other people forced me to go and get sectioned and that was one of the best things that could’ve happened to me.”
Urging other people to seek help, he said: “When you’re a man you try and be macho. I was trying to fight it and not admit it.”
