Richard Young said his son suffers from a disorder caused by his brain being compressed into the front of his skull, but he couldn't remember the disorder's name Monday. The father said his son's disposition changed after he suffered a concussion during his rookie season, although the Lions never listed that as an injury. Although Titus Young has medication for the issue, his father said he hasn't been taking it as prescribed and while he did say his son has sought help for the issue, he hasn't been dedicated to his treatment, which doctors told the father could take six months or less. "He's not dealing with it the way he should be," Richard Young said. "If the judge gives him a court order, then maybe he'll get the help he needs." Based on Titus Young's behavior leading up to the arrest, that will be a possibility unless he ends up in prison. Since the Lions cut Titus Young in February, his father said he has been working out and "trying to get himself together." "I'm thinking about my son," Richard Young said. "He needs to get help and get better. "When he's around us, his mind comes and goes. He can't really defend himself, and I don't want ya'll thinking he's a bad person." Source: Detroit News
