Athletes are an incredibly motivated group that is perpetually engaged in training for dominance in skill, strength, endurance, and execution, often while balancing many additional responsibilities. Despite the appearance of living fun, luxurious, care-free lifestyles, they are vulnerable to exceptional stressors and the same mental health challenges as the general population. Use of screening tools and assessing the athlete through the lens of a biopsychosocial framework can assist in understanding the factors contributing to the mental health challenges and facilitate the development of a targeted management approach. |
