Months later, Smith and his wife courtney revealed what he was doing.
In An interview with Indianapolis StarThe couple said that Braden was diagnosed as a form of obsessive-intellectual disorder (OCD), so that he would consider suicide, who was struggling to work with both football and family:
“I was physically present, but I was not found anywhere,” Smith said in a special interview with Indistar, for the first time explained to the nature of personal reasons, due to which he had to remember the last five games of colts. “I didn’t care to play football. I did not care about walking out with my family, with my wife, with my newborn son. … I (so) was a month away from a bullet through my brain.”
Smith is allegedly suffering from a form of OCD, called religious scripulocity, which he described as a passion with his Christianity that he agrees to every possible sin and feels a feeling of adjacent doom.
“There is real, real, true, living God,” said Smith. “And then my OCD is God, and OCD God is this condemnation (deity). It is like every wrong step you have taken, it is like smoking the ruler against his hand.” Another bad step is like this and you are out of here. “
Smith was reportedly baptized in last May, but Braden’s case deteriorated only to the point where he was unable to focus in the film study and told Katni that he was planning to retire. After talking with Colts, he was placed on an antidepressant and a mood booster and was given time to go to therapy sessions.

They are habits we make, and over time, like, it is not possible to make a new mark, because it is so deep. It is so deep.
