Kevin Love made the big revelation that he was struggling with panic attacks in an essay that he wrote in the Players Tribune called “Everyone Is Going Through Something.”
He described how it was hard for him to reveal personal information. However, he wrote that he wanted “to share some of my thoughts about my panic attack and what’s happened since. If you’re suffering silently like I was, then you know how it can feel like nobody really gets it. Partly, I want to do it for me, but mostly, I want to do it because people don’t talk about mental health enough. And men and boys are probably the farthest behind.”

In the essay, Love explained the stressors in his life that he believes contributed to the panic attack. “I was stressed about issues I’d been having with my family. I wasn’t sleeping well. On the court, I think the expectations for the season, combined with our 4–5 start, were weighing on me,” he wrote.
