David Weatherston reveals he first felt depressed before a St Johnstone game in 2008Former St Johnstone striker David Weatherston has spoken out about his battle with mental health problems. Speaking on his blog he said: "I can pinpoint the first time I ever felt nervous before a game. It was for St Johnstone in 2008 against Hamilton at McDiarmid Park in my first season as a professional. I felt physically sick, couldn't eat, could hardly speak, felt breathless and my legs felt heavy." Weatherston admits that although he never felt suicidal, he was depressed, and on match days his symptoms deteriorated further.
