I could never sit still. I had teachers who told me that I could never do anything and that I would never succeed in life. »As an Olympic athlete, I can speak for a few teammates who’ve been through depression,’ You build for four years, you get to that peak, and two days into the Olympics you’re done, and then it’s is like, ‘Where do I go from here?’ This is where athletes can get into trouble. »“It took me a long time to finally realize that it’s okay to ask for help and it’s okay to be unwell,” Phelps said. “Once I discovered that I was able to save my life and make my life exponentially better, that is something I will always be grateful for. »” Nobody is perfect. We are all human beings and we go through the same things in life. For me, for a very long time, I could never ask for help, I try to encourage people to come out and ask for help. »Benefit of ADHD in sports: https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/different-kind-therapy/202204/the-gift-adhdNutrition and autism: ZInc. 2013 study: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/285209020_Nutrition_for_ADHD_and_Autism
