Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen announced Friday night he's bipolar and will become an advocate for mental health.
Griffen called police last week saying someone was inside his home. He also made several posts on social media, including one that showed him holding a gun, that raised questions about his well-being. He eventually came out of the house and was transported to a mental health facility.
The 33-year-old NFL player posted an update Friday on Instagram:
"It's true I am bipolar. I will embrace it and I will be an advocate for mental health.
