Bipolar
In a statement issued on June 9, 2020, in reaction to multiple viral video posts by Daniel Duncan-Williams, his family said their son has been battling with bipolar for the past six years.
According to the statement, the failure to continue his prescribed medication causes him to relapse which results in his obscene social media posts.
The Archbishop released a statement through his spokesperson, Bishop Ebenezer Obodai, saying while the family acknowledges that “the obscenities are abhorrent” people must “understand that he (Daniel) has a serious illness”.
He revealed his son was suffering from acute bipolar disorder and subsequently sent the police to check on Daniel during the “meltdown”.
The family urged Ghanaians and people to support them in prayers while they continue to seek medical help for him.
“The Archbishop said, “This is a test of his faith. I acknowledge the situation my son is in, and I still love him…please pray for us…. Love covers a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8.”
