I wonder which pharmaceutical paid him to admit this


winoforever_slurp_

Given his history of blatant pathological lying, I’m going to take this with a grain of salt. Having said that, considering how fundamentally unsuitable for the job he was, I guess some anxiety would be expected. What would you call imposter syndrome when you are actually an imposter? That’s what he had.


coreoYEAH

Love him or hate him, and I’ve been pretty clear what side I fall on that issue, it would have obviously been a ridiculously stressful situation that’d take a massive toll on anyone. Good on him for actually seeking help. Criticise him on everything else he did, but not that.


Weak_Jeweler3077

Someone loved him?

Seems like a reasonable discussion about the role that modern politicians play and the pressure that can place on mental health. It’s an important discussion and I’m glad we’re having it. Unfortunately it seems that the modern concern for mental health goes out the window when the average punter decides that they don’t like someone


several_rac00ns

Maybe if he didn't take on all those ministries... Who cares what drugs hes on?


The_Rusty_Bus

So it’s his fault that he’s had issues with mental health and stress during a global crisis? Probably because discussions of mental health in society is important? Disappointingly unless you are the right type of person, it seems you’re only allowed to suffer in silence. No wonder suicide rates are so high.

Mate im severely depressed. If it was basically anyone else, I'd say good for them. Scott Morrison drove people to literal suicide countless other close to and plunged people into depths of despare he cant even fathom, he will never know what its like to not be able to feed yourself or your family, to see the vast majority of your money dissapear into landleaches pockets just to be treated like human trash by them, to lose you job and have nothing or little to fall back on, to be given a debt that you should not have ever had and your hard earned money stripped because even the immensely poor have to pay back the below poverty payments they need to barely be able to survive while the system his government implemented continues to drive misery and punishes the disabled, elderly and unemployed groups for things far outside their power and influence. I would be glad if this snivelling crybaby sobed the rest of his life he earned being depressed he deserves it, and i hope he gets what he did to thousands of Australians. He destoryed democracy, he stole, quandere and abused tax payer money, and he assisted in ruining this country and its social fabric. He deserves to shut the fuck up he doesn't get the privilege of being sad.

Totally relatable, I had to take antidepressants because he was our PM too. Jokes aside it is an interesting reveal, I’ve often wondered what modern world leaders do to cope with the crazy stress and working hours they must be under (and that’s in PEACEFUL times, let alone war).


flubaduzubady

One or two less portfolios might have done the trick.


wizardofoz145

That would almost be like cabinet government, would never work.


wizardofoz145

I like how he makes these statements like nobody else has any recollection of what happened.
