I’m there with you richarlison. As someone who struggled for nearly a decade with depression. I can say that if I had spoken to someone earlier continuously to treat my mental health I wouldn’t have to suffer such a miserable pain. I chose to deal with it myself as if no one would ever completely understand me. But I was wrong and I shouldn’t have been so stiff about it. I’m doing alright now but doing it on my own could’ve ended disastrously. And that’s not worth the risk. Also had my family and mainly my parents as a strength near the end when I needed people in my corner to talk to and work things out. My prayers go out to everyone who face this and I hope you all reach the peace we all search for

It’s not easy to admit to people that you can’t cope or your world is falling apart. So for somebody like Richarlison a high profile Premier league and Brazil international to admit that even with all the money in the world, Depression doesn’t care who you are or what you are. My respect for Richarlison has risen a million fold, to see him in such distress was so brave and heartfelt. I’m happy that he has found a way to deal with his depression. We need more high profile people from all walks of life to stand together and spread the love.

Mental health can affect anyone regardless of wealth true but these footballers are so far detached from the normal people especially ones with serious mental health . Hell have seen a top psychologist instantly and had the best care unlike us that have to go months or years without getting proper help.. hes on 90k a week and just a fraction of that could be used to support mental health charities through out the world but no mention of that .

[@ClarenceBoddicker87]

Mental health charities and services are all a con, they don't help, he has been seeing specialists but look at the state of him. We have more mental health services and support than ever in history but mental health is constantly rising. How is that so? Its about society, culture and humanity, we are going so far away from what we are supposed to be as humans, going against our nature and it is affecting us. Of course no "professional" will ever say this, the'll give you a pill or a meaningless questionnaire/assessment to complete from a textbook.

[@marc.the.red1987]

​@@ClarenceBoddicker87is that what you think mental heath problems don't exist its all a con . I tell you now there's fantastic support and charities out there who are seriously under funded . Hope you don't have to use them

Proud of Richarlison for doing this, I’ve been in the same dark places and it’s very important to seek professional help bc it really does help ❤️

Isn't it the same guy who went on social media and said " Brazil 1st choice striker and 5th choice CB" to his international team mate? He is crying? Gabriel should have given him a beating after the match. He wasn't even 1st choice striker in a 5th placed side. How dare he disrepects a defender with more goals than a striker and who is 1st choice for a team fighting for the league.

They should be more worried about the amount of people dropping down with heart problems and don't say it's normal it's always happened because it hasn't and to see many games stopped because of a medical incident in the crowd is also not normal it's a problem but everyone is turning a blind eye it's like there embarrassed to say they were wrong and have made everyone a ticking time bomb😮

Its what a lot of people forget. Yes these people are athletes on a lot of money, but they are also human beings with emotions. You dont realise how much words can hurt, i know this because I've been bullied all my life and have developed serious mental health issues because of it. Brave of Richarlison to speak up, it takes a lot of courage.

Immense respect to Richarlison for everything he’s battling for. Always know that no matter what you’re going through in life, there’s always a way and a light at the end of the tunnel. Please don’t suffer in silence because there is help and support available for you. Every single beautiful soul matters because you exist. Don’t take this life for granted because nothing is guaranteed. It’s so beautiful to embrace your vulnerability and to be open about yourself and your feelings. It shows that we all are human and we all deserve to be heard no matter what. Sending unconditional love to everyone ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

what about the self employed guy married with 3 kids who goes short of work, thats mental pressure.And if he has no money put by what does he do.Where as the football always gets paid, so is looked after.
