'They're not robots.' Lane Johnson’s battle with depression broadens the conversation about athletes’ mental health

from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson missed three games because of a "personal matter," which the 31-year-old All-Pro right tackle later revealed had to do with his struggles with depression and anxiety. Athletes like Naomi Osaka and Simone Biles have done a tremendous amount to normalize the conversation about mental health struggles at the highest levels of competition, and Dr. Joel Fish, a licensed psychologist and Director of the Center for Sport Psychology in Philadelphia says Lane Johnson's transparency about his own struggles is further educating both teammates and fans about how we treat mental health in sports and the importance of addressing these very normal issues. Check out the Center for Sport Psychology at: https://www.psychologyofsport.com/
