Claim: Glen Bowyer, a former Australian rules footballer, struggled badly with depression but was able to work through it after returning from the Greek Islands.
Evidence: Glen Bowyer (born 28 December 1979) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Hawthorn and Carlton in the Australian Football League (AFL). He struggled badly with depression, and was a heavy user of alcohol and drugs during this time, engaged in self-harm, and contemplated suicide at times. Late in the year and at the height of his depression, Bowyer traveled to the Greek islands on his own, where he almost lost his life after his left arm was badly cut by glass; the exact nature of this incident has not been publicly discussed. Upon his return, Bowyer was able to work through his depression.
