Chicago Cubs pitcher Marcus Stroman has bravely spoken out about his struggles with mental health, revealing that he has been battling anxiety and depression.
“I’m not alone in this,” Stroman said. “I want to help break the stigma surrounding mental health in sports.”
Stroman’s courageous admission has sparked a wave of support from fans and fellow players alike. The Cubs organization has also pledged its support, offering resources and counseling to players struggling with mental health issues.
Stroman’s struggles began last season, when he experienced a series of panic attacks on the mound. He has since sought treatment and has become an advocate for mental health awareness.
“I want to help others feel comfortable opening up about their struggles,” Stroman said. “We need to create a safe space for players to talk about their mental health.”
