What kind of psychological problems?
He was out for nine month because he had depressions. He couldn't handle the expectations everyone had about him. In Germany it's like everytime there is a young and talented player (and Deisler was VERY talented) people want to see a new superstar in him. And with Deisler it was like people saying "He will be the new Wolfgang Overath" and things like this. It just was too much for him.
When he made an huge impact in the Bundesliga he had the nickname "Basti Fantasti", now everyone calls him "Psycho Deisler"....
