The Struggle continues for a former Detroit Red Wings forward

The former stand out, 30 plus goal scorer Johan Franzen has been diagnosed with (PTSD) post-traumatic stress disorder. He battles with depression, panic attacks, and anxiety on a daily basis. In a sad story published recently in the Detroit News, they explain some of the post-hockey the former Detroit Red Wings forward is left with.

Franzen played 11 seasons with the Detroit Red Wings before he needed to call it a career with the severe brain injury. A concussion is a terrible thing, and once multiple concussions occur it becomes devastating.
