There are student-athletes that develop depression and even eating disorder.
Seeking help is important especially when mental health issue start to develop.
The awareness and learning how to manage their mental health would allow them to avoid serious consequences that can even be life threatening for some.
I do hope educators and parents would raise greater awareness especially when an athlete that looks strong on the outside but he/she may be facing serious mental health issues.
Athletes should stay healthy. When we talk about health, we usually think of physical health and overlook mental heath. Mental healh of an athlete is very important that highly influence on his/her performance.
