    Aaron Lennon: Everton winger not suffering long-standing mental health issue

    Everton winger Aaron Lennon is not suffering from a long-standing mental health issue and is expected to make a full recovery in the short term, BBC Sport understands.

    The 30-year-old was detained under the Mental Health Act by police over concerns for his welfare.

    He was taken to hospital "for assessment" after police were called to Salford on Sunday.

    It is understood his condition is a recent occurrence.

    Lennon is now "receiving care and treatment for a stress-related illness", his club has said.

    The England international, who joined Everton from Tottenham in 2015, has not played for the first team since February.

    Greater Manchester Police said: "Police were called at around 4.35pm to reports of a concern for the welfare of a man on Eccles Old Road.

    "Officers attended and a 30-year-old man was detained under section 136 of the Mental Health Act and was taken to hospital for assessment."

    News of Lennon's admission has led to an outpouring of support on social media from those involved in the game, as well as fans of his current and former clubs.

    Everton tweeted on Wednesday: "Thank you for all the kind messages for Aaron. We are supporting him through this and his family has appealed for privacy at this time."

    Lennon's representative, Base Soccer Agency, tweeted: "Everyone at Base Soccer sends their support to @AaronLennon12 - get well soon and stay strong."

    Hope he receives the support he needs.
    Clarke Carlisle's episode was terrible, jumping in front of a lorry in an attempt to kill himself. The lorry driver suffered life changing injuries, which on top of his presenting issues Clarke will have to live with.

    I think this is added to by many people claiming "I'm stressed" "I suffer from anxiety" etc. when really they are just having ups and downs of everyday life. Then on the other hand many people who are really suffering do it in silence.

    Many problems are definitely created more by society than anything else, and obviously most people will never see the larger picture because they and the politicians will only have a blinkered look created by their own assumptions/prejudices. Other people's minds actually contribute to the deterioration of others.
