Dad: Titus Young has brain disorder

He told The Free Press that his son has been prescribed the antidepressant Seroquel, which is used to treat bipolar disorders and schizophrenia.

“I hope they just forgive Titus because this ain’t none of Titus, it wasn’t none of his fault,” he told The Free Press. “I look at my son right now, I don’t see my son. That’s not my son. I know my son.”

In the interview with The News, he said he could not remember the name of the disorder his son suffers from but said it is caused when the brain is compressed into the front of a person’s skull. He claims his son changed after suffering a concussion in 2011, his rookie season. The Lions did not list the receiver as suffering a concussion, however.

He told The News said his son’s treatment could take six months or less if he was dedicated to the treatment, but he hasn’t been taking his medication as it was prescribed.

“He’s not dealing with it the way he should be,” Richard Young told the newspaper. “If the judge gives him a court order, then maybe he’ll get the help he needs.”
