"Me personally I've only identified this maybe in the last year," Whittaker told Triple M.
"It's something I've always had that I kind of wrote off as who I am, until people I surround myself with say why do you keep falling off the rail at these times.
"Then I had to look back and start identifying the symptoms and then you like wow this happens to everybody."
Whittaker also opened up on his tough Championship loss to Israel Adesanya at UFC 243, his upcoming speaking tour plus what's next inside the Octagon; hear the full chat below.
