New York Giants wide receiver Brandon Marshall had issues off the field long before he began his football career. He has been fighting with mental illness since he was a child.
Marshall was diagnosed with multiple personality disorder in 2011 and subsequently underwent three months of treatment at McLean Hospital in Belmont, Massachusetts. He is now an advocate for others who are dealing with mental illnesses. He has also created Project 375 to support the cause.
On Friday the Pro Bowl receiver sent a message to his younger self as part of the Child Mind Institute’s month-long #MyYoungerself social media campaign.
