‘It’s Not A Pretty Journey’: Uthappa Sheds Light On ‘challenging’ Battle With Depression
T20 World Cup: The 2007 T20 World Cup winner Robin Uthappa has revealed the challenges that he faced when he was diagnosed as clinically depressed. The former wicket-keeper batsman has shared his story to shed light on mental health challenges in sports.
"We are going to be talking about depression and suicide. We recently heard about Graham Thorpe and David Johnson from India. V.B Chandra Sekhar sir who was the rock of CSK. I have been there as well. It's not a pretty journey. It's debilitating. You feel like you are a burden to the people you love. It's challenging. You feel like you are worth less," Robin Uthappa said in a video on YouTube.
Uthappa’s comments follow the devastating news of former English cricketer Graham Thorpe’s demise. Lovingly called ‘Thorpy’ by English fans, his wife and two daughters bravely spoke out and revealed that he had taken his own life earlier this month.
