Ex-NFL star Kyle Long speaks out on depression, anxiety and therapy's impact

Former NFL offensive lineman Kyle Long has opened up about his battles with depression and anxiety during his professional football career. He recalled a particularly difficult moment when he was unable to leave the team bus due to his mental health struggles. Long credited therapy, medical support, and candid conversations as turning points in understanding and managing his condition. He is now channeling his experience into advocacy work through an initiative called Generation Fine. The platform aims to encourage people to speak honestly about their mental health rather than defaulting to saying they are fine when they are not.
