Description

Naomi Osaka, grand slam champion and a young star on the Women's tour, has been open about her struggles with anxiety and depression. At the French Open she decided against attending press conferences and eventually withdrew from the tournament. We talk about the importance of taking care of one's mental health, getting help just as you would a physical concern, and how vulnerability is strength.
