Jason Miller seemed to be pretty mentally stable on TUF14 and was a good coach, we all know he's as high energy and wild as they come but he seemed mentally right.
What do you think pushed him off the deep end? For almost three years he hasn't been able to stay out of trouble.

He might have a legitimate mental illness. Some have late onsets. I hope he gets it together, I'm a fan.
 
Probably getting cut from the UFC did him in.
Certainly a possibility once he got cut he lost it, wasn't the same ever again.
I don't think Jason Miller had a backplan besides fighting he took all his chips and went all-in and it didn't exactly pay off in the long run.
 
SEEMED pretty mentally stable.

Wasn't actually stable.

Miss the guy. He brought a lot of drama to MMA, and had the potential to bring a lot more.
 
TS, you really can't make a guess to how he went off the deep end?
 
Getting punched in head for a living, probably already had underlying mental illness, not having the success in his career he wanted, massive pay cuts after pay cuts, working hard to stay relevant. Take your pick. None of us know what the exact trigger event was.
 
Going from having bully beatdown then going into the UFC and doing the ultimate fighter to losing every fight since being in the UFC and getting cut did him in. His life went to shit and he went off the deep end.
 
I'm not a Dr but if I had to guess, I suppose I'd go with disturbed/retarded??
 
Unstability, mental illness, too many shots to the brain and drugs would be my guess. He had his own show, he nearly submitted Jake Shields, got a 2nd shot with the UFC and had the worst 2 fight showing I've ever seen. He didn't live up to his potential and I guess it all got to him. He needs a lot of help and the only thing I'd recommend is Jesus.

This excluding the Jesus talk :)
 
he wasnt getting any attention. happens to a lot if people who are used to the spotlight.
 
Imo he clearly has a chemical imbalance and how "well" he's doing is dependent on his medication intake or not.
