In the nicest possible way, I think if you have a read of this thread, you may change your view of the effects stress and depression can have; http://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/discussion-help-on-depression-related-issues.62441/
It's a killer, not a question of being weak minded.

I got the impression that Trott wanted to convince everyone it wasn't depression due to the stigma. I don't know that and don't want to judge the bloke but going by that interview he seemed to want to disassociate himself with the illness. The fact his first comeback failed maybe showed it wasn't just exhaustion.
There does seem to be something like that in it, its a shame because he lost some of the good will going down that road rightly or wrongly, as you say his come back being a repeat incident probably shows it was more serious than exhaustion

Of course it does originally. You saying when you're a kid you dream of playing for England for the money and for the footy? You're a bit weird if you're the other way around.

Out of curiosity, does anyone have any proof that Bentley suffers from depression? Not read it anywhere.

No, nothing has come out, personally I haven't used the D word about him, I think it's more pressure and falling out of love with the game.
As someone who has recently had the same happen, I can understand where he's coming from, and I just play for the local club!

Michael Johnson went the same way (midfielder at City), Rooney went hell for leather at the all you can eat buffet two summers ago (not needing brass house references here please).
Heard a cracking line from the Tennis recently..."It's hard to get out of bed at 5am when you are wearing silk pyjamas"
Players make bad moves, bad agents, bad injuries, bad women. This is the start of a phenomenon we will see a lot more of. The pressure and the expectation especially on the media hyped home grown players will ultimately lead to more drop outs in the dwindling numbers of players that are making it through just to have a chance of dropping out.
Don't hate the player, hate the game.

He's got young kids, not played for a year and before that was in russia.
Seems like they didnt fancy russia and due to the kids they wanted back to england. No one came in at the level or wages he wanted for a year and so hes given up to go into business.
Worth millions now.
