Olympic athletes Allison Schmitt and Michael Phelps know what it takes to win in the pool: Train hard, push yourself and listen to your coach. But both swimmers say they also had another source of support that made all the difference ― a psychologist. ⠀
“Every time that I came out of that office, I felt so much better,” @マイケル・フェルプス told HuffPost. “I was so much more relieved just talking...it didn’t matter what I was talking about. I was getting it out and I was communicating.” ⠀
The longtime pals have partnered with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to encourage kids to view mental and behavioral health as a core component of their overall wellness. Schmitt (@アリソン・シュミット) entered treatment in early 2015 to help manage depression and she credits Phelps with encouraging her to ask for help. ⠀
“[Michael] said to me, ‘I can tell there is something wrong,’” Schmitt told The Detroit Free Press. “‘I don’t know what it is. I’m here for you. I can help you or I can find someone else to help you.’” ⠀
Phelps too has long been open about working on his personal life outside of the pool. As a child, he was diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and more recently, the Olympic champion entered treatment for substance abuse in 2014 after a drunk driving arrest.⠀
“We’re taught to persevere,” Schmitt told HuffPost. “It works in the pool: [If] you don’t get a time you want, swim faster. But life is a lot bigger than that.” ⠀
Schmitt says that when you’re hurting from any sort of life stressor or a mental health condition, it’s essential to ask for help. ⠀
“A lot of these people suffer silently,” Schmitt said. “[But] it’s okay to not be okay.” ⠀
