In a statement issued yesterday in reaction to multiple viral video posts by Daniel Duncan-Williams, the family said Daniel has been battling with the disease for the past six years. According to the statement, the failure to continue his prescribed medication causes him to relapse which results in his indecent social media posts. Below are quotes of the statement from the spokesperson for Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams and family.
"The significance of psychological health has become very personal to Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams and his family. Six years ago, Archbishop's son, Daniel Duncan Williams, was diagnosed with acute bipolar disease. Through the family, Daniel has undergone the very best medical interventions, treatments and hospitalizations, yet he still experiences relapses when he does not continue on his prescribed medication."
"His outbursts on social media and elsewhere should not be media fodder or click-bait; We acknowledge that the obscenities are abhorrent but understand that he has a serious illness. Daniel is not of himself and he has never been in prison".
"The Archbishop and his family continue to stand firm in their faith believing God for Daniel’s full deliverance, healing and restoration. We ask that you please respect their privacy as they navigate through this trying time."
Psalm 3:3. But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
Also in another statement, the Archbishop said he still loves his son and asked for prayers for his healing. The Archbishop said "this is a test of his faith". In his own words he also said "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.
