An Atlanta psychotherapist calls Naomi Osaka “a great example of ending the stigma around mental health and doing what’s necessary to care for ourselves.”
Osaka, the top-earning female athlete, is stepping away from the French Open, explaining she's been battling depression and anxiety for years.

Myles, with Embark Behavorial Health, says Osaka's revelation will give strength to so many young women, especially young women of color, to say 'I need help', and to prioritize their well-being.
