Simone Biles sees a therapist regularly and takes medication for anxiety, acknowledging mental-health struggles.
Biles was asked on “Good Morning America” how she has processed standing up as a Larry Nassar survivor on Jan. 15.
“I’m on anxiety medicine now because I had a lot of ups and downs throughout the year, trying to figure out what was wrong,” Biles said. “So I go to therapy pretty regularly. It’s not easy, but the people surrounding me are some of the best.”
Biles is an experienced mental-health advocate.
Last year, she partnered with the #BeUnderstood campaign for Learning Disabilities and ADHD Awareness Month in October.
