On Friday afternoon, Minnesota Vikings’ defensive end Everson Griffen spoke out for the first time since the scary incident at his home a couple of weeks ago. He put the following picture on his Instagram page.

The post that accompanies the picture reads as follows:

It’s true I am bipolar. I will embrace it and I will be an advocate for mental health. I been running from it a long time. I’m not ashamed of it anymore. It all started when my mother passed away. Went into a dark place, thought I was great for many years.
