mental health in the NBA

Many nba players have dealt with mental health issues. A few players that struggled with mental health are Ray Allen, DeMar DeRozan, and Delonte West.
Ray Allen had OCD(obbessive-compulsive disorder) and anyone who has this disorder knows it is not easy to deal with. DeMar struggled with depression and anxiety. Firsthand I know what this is like and though I've never met DeMar, I understand him. Delonte was diagnosed with bipolar in 2008. Mental health is not a joke and if the person dealing with it does not receive help, it may lead to Self Harm or worse.

There are many things that you can do to take care of your mental health like taking a walk and eating healthier. Studies have shown that being in nature improves our state of mind and diet is a direct link to how we feel. Avoiding stress and getting enough sleep is very important because if you don't get enough sleep, you are more vulnerable to stress which isn't good for your mental wellbeing.
