A Tottenham star has confessed to experienced severe depression and seeking help

Tottenham forward and Brazilian national team player Richarlison revealed that he suffered from severe depression after the 2022 World Cup.

The footballer admitted to falling into depression after Brazil's elimination from the World Cup in Qatar. He credited a psychologist with helping him overcome his distressed state.

"I don't know, I won't talk about suicide, but I had depression then, and I wanted to give up. Even I, who seemed mentally strong. After the World Cup, it seemed like everything had fallen apart. I think the therapist saved me, saved my life. I thought only nonsense... Even on Google, I was only looking for nonsense, I wanted to see only nonsense about death.

Today, I can say one thing: seek a psychologist if you need one. Because it will be pleasant for you to open up, to talk to this person. I used to have such prejudice; I thought it was all nonsense, that I was crazy. In my family, there are people who think that anyone who goes to a psychologist is crazy," Richarlison shared.

During the World Cup in Qatar, the forward scored three goals, but the Brazilian national team exited the tournament in the quarter-finals after a defeat to Croatia.
