Scientists are pushing back against the media narrative on CTE. It has now become a one size fits all excuse for any bad behaviour amongst pro athletes. Suicides have been reported amongst people who self misdiagnosed with CTE when they in fact had treatable conditions.
CTE is not the only brain disease. It is the only brain disease that can be linked to a huge range of effects. As the disease is still regarded as being in the hypothetical stage , it's hard to definitively prove it's effects but it's also hard to definitively disprove it's effects. Nevertheless most scientists are saying the behavioural effects of CTE are being vastly overstated. Timestamp 20:42 for the professor roasting the link between CTE and suicide.
A CTE diagnosis is subjective, it depends on the scientists who are assessing the brain. The scientists behind the 99% study have been criticised by other scientists in the field for being able to "diagnose CTE in a rock".
