[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Evidence suggests that as young people compete more intensely in sports, gains in mental wellness may be replaced by mental health challenges particular to competitive athletics. Pre-pandemic, up to 20% of college athletes experienced major depression. For young athletes competing at national and international levels, anxiety and depression were 20% to 45% — higher in some cases than those in the age-matched control groups. In one study of elite Canadian swimmers, an eye-popping 68% met the criteria for depression.[/quote] This quote didn't appear to be part of the article so hard to comment on whether there's any truth to the implication that sports leads to depression, or whether that's just yet another BS "science" claim.[/quote]
