Heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson is not, and has never been, a manic-depressive, a psychiatrist said after examining Tyson.

Dr. Abraham Halpern, the chairman of the psychiatry department of United Hospital at Port Chester, N.Y., said Tyson “showed no sign of abnormality. He had no delusionary ideas.”

After an auto accident last month at Catskill, N.Y., Tyson was evaluated by Dr. Henry McCurtis at the urging of the fighter’s wife, Robin Givens, and mother-in-law, Ruth Roper. McCurtis, a psychiatrist, diagnosed Tyson as a manic-depressive and lithium carbonate was prescribed.
