Anxiety sadly is a widespread problem amongst teenage girls especially. Mate's daughter suffers badly, as does a niece - both dropped out of school. Now effectively home schooled. Though I understand both are slowly getting better. Certainly a stable, safe home environment/routine seems crucial - as from what I've heard it's often a change in routine/new environment that causes increased anxiety.
I've no real evidence, but my gut feel that the rise in importance of social media etc, in everyday lives has lead to increased anxiety amongst teenagers (and younger kids even). That's just a gut feel.
Good on Wisnewski and the Nix for being open & upfront about her problems. Hopefully she can slowly get better. But I'm sure no one will rush anything. She's only age 19. Plenty of time.
No idea exactly what Jacob Tratt's mental health issues were, but he's now carved out a respectable ALM career. And even coped with living in India for a year during the pandemic playing for Odisha (where Taylor was also). And I'm sure there has been many other pro footballers (male & female), who have worked through their mental health demons. It can be a brutal & lonely profession at times no doubt.
