Richarlison opens up about his battle with depression after the FIFA World Cup in Qatar | ESPN FC 

So glad Richy seeked help and is now stronger than ever. Big ups.🙌

Great transparency about the importance of mental health supporters in the sport from Richy. Even those at the top need to be checked on and supported at times. No one is impervious to struggle and it’s great to see him give support for others who might also be struggling.

So much sadness in his eyes. Life can be so dark, even for those who seem to have everything. Glad he's getting the help he so desperately needs, breaking the stigma and encouraging others to do the same, absolute hero 👏

Highest respect for him!

As a therapist and an Everton fan, I’m so happy Richy got help. I also thank him for sharing his story and being so vulnerable.

I'm rooting for Richarlison after this..

This just makes you realize that these people are human too

Massive respect to Richy for doing this. Hopefully it will help others who are struggling to realise that there is nothing shameful or weak about reaching out for help when you need it - in fact, it takes a great deal of strength to do so. Good luck to him 💙💙💙💙 /Pablo

You are not weak for going to a therapist or a counselor (there is a difference); you are strong. It takes a lot to acknowledge that you are human and need help. In the African American community, we have the same stigma around mental health that he described. I am glad he got the help he needed. Rooting for him.

Massive respect to him for speaking about this and to also say that going to a psychologist is no big deal and it's a healthy thing to do. It's just a professional person that helps you deal with your personal problems and guides you on your way. They don't magically fix your problems but they support your mental healing.

I felt it before in lockdown. it's weird. You forget things and your mood is down and you think negatively

Richy is awesome. Im glad he found some healing. Love him to bits.

he scored so many beautiful goals

Big up yourself Richy we are with you 👊🏾

Richarlison is a great player, to be a football player is 90% mental and 10% talent. It's hard to wake up every day and stay motivated. Respect for Richarlison.

brilliant being able to say this publicly, richy. you came back stronger and you’re banging in those goals ❤❤

Thank you for sharing. Your a great plyr and glad you did not quit as you are having a great season. Go Spurs 💯

Wow Richy! Such emotion from him but absolutely brilliant work in his openness in talking about the pressure he was feeling. Very very proud of him in seeking help.

Nothing but my upmost respect for this man, if you don't experience these attacks it's so hard to understand, my whole life I felt isolated and felt weak, but seeing this gives me the strength to feel normal amongst my inadequacies, keep going brother!

Dont give up Richarlison... we love you!!!
