Kevin Love is ready to change the stigma around mental health | FanSided
NBA champion Kevin Love is here to change the way people think about mental health. During a game against the Atlanta Hawks in 2017, 5-time All Star, and NBA champion Kevin Love had a panic attack for the first time in his life. Love went to the hospital, but after it was determined that there were no physical injuries, he finally realized what he had been pushing aside for a long time. Love was struggling with depression and anxiety and for the first time in his life he was able to admit that. Love's panic attack led him to share his story with the world through an article for The Player's Tribune where he detailed his panic attack and coming to grips with how he was using basketball as an escape from dealing with and talking about his feelings. Through Love's journey of understanding mental health came a project he's currently working on in collaboration with Schick Hydro to foster a healthy conversation not just about mental health, but about masculinity called Locker Room Talk. Love has talked to Michael Phelps, Channing Frye and Paul Pierce about their individual bouts with depression and social anxiety and how that has changed the way they think and discuss mental health. #FanSided #nba #cavaliers #kevinlove #cleveland #ClevelandCavaliers #basketball #mentalhealth Don't miss a video!
