CLEVELAND — Suffering for years in silence, Kevin Love has opened up about his struggles with mental health.
The Cavaliers forward writes in an essay for the Players’ Tribune that he had a panic attack during a game this season and he has spent most of his life afraid to accept there was something wrong with him.
“For 29 years, I thought about mental health as someone else’s problem,” he said.
Love says he was stricken with anxiety Nov. 5 during a home game against the Atlanta Hawks. Love adds that he had been under family stress and hadn’t been sleeping well.
