10 Athletes With Serious Mental Disorders
Description:
Being an athlete is challenging, not only physically but mentally as well, so it’s truly amazing when we consider the athletes that are facing another challenge. Mental illness has faced stigma and ridicule over the years, just like many other invisible illnesses. There are no physical systems, but they are just as real and sometimes debilitating as any other illness. Battling and conquering these mental disorders is sometimes a full time job on its own, so it’s truly an inspiration when we see athletes giving it their all. These athletes help to break the stereotypes surrounding mental disorders and illnesses either by sharing their own struggle or helping those with struggles of their own.
