Former Chicago Bears quarterback Jim McMahon has experienced the highest highs and the lowest lows throughout his life. That has given him a great perspective to speak from.
McMahon is set to share stories about his bouts with depression at a hospital opening next month. He is the featured speaker at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Silver Oaks Behavioral Hospital in New Lenox, Illinois.
The grand opening takes place on December 13 from 12-2 p.m. Silver Oaks is a 100-bed cutting-edge hospital offering behavioral services for all ages.
McMahon was a two-time All-American at BYU before being drafted by the Bears with the fifth overall pick in 1982. In 1985, he led Chicago to a 15-1 regular season record and a win in Super Bowl XX.
After spending the first seven seasons of his career with the Bears, he played another eight years with five different franchises. McMahon had a final high watermark of his career when he returned to a starting role with the Philadelphia Eagles in 1991 and won the Pro Football Weekly NFL Comeback Player of the Year Award.
McMahon also won a final Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers in 1996. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1998.
