Who is the most dominant player in the Olympic arena, some say sprinter Usain Bolt, some say the American men's basketball dream team, but their dominance is not as dominant as the man mentioned next. That man is the famous swimmer Phelps, arguably the most dominant player in the Olympic Games, and no one can shake his status in the athlete era.
During Phelps' Olympic career, he won a total of 23 gold medals, a dominance that is unparalleled, and he was a symbol of gold medals at his peak. However, even powerful athletes also have old age, and now Phelps has retired for many years, but after retiring, Phelps has lost the self-discipline of his athlete era.
Recently, foreign media have also exposed Phelps' recent photos, from the photo, it doesn't look like a 37-year-old middle-aged man at all, but especially like a nearly 60-year-old man, he is not only very messy hair, even the beard is not repaired, looks like a homeless man, but Phelps is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, what makes him what he is now?
It turned out that after Phelps left the swimming arena, he suffered from depression, which is not easy to treat for billionaires, and Phelps also said in an interview with the media that he once thought about suicide when he was most uncomfortable, but he still relied on his wife to exchange his soul back, so that he did not go on the road to suicide.
It can be seen that depression is a huge injury to a person, even athletes of Phelps' level are difficult to escape the clutches of depression, and it can only be said that mental health is more important than physical health. But fortunately, Phelps has a good wife, and she does not give up when her husband is most uncomfortable, otherwise Phelps will not survive the most uncomfortable period of his life.
But seeing such a big change in the short term after Phelps retired, some netizens also voiced skepticism. "Flying fish won't be at its peak and take too much medicine and have side effects, right?" So some people look bright and beautiful on the outside, in fact, his heart is not so strong, even if he is a swimming champion with 23 Olympic gold medals, it is difficult to escape the sanctions of depression, so for us ordinary people, we should pay more attention to physical and mental health, which is related to our future, Phelps is a typical example.
However, Phelps has money and status after all, and he can use his wealth to help him overcome this disease, but for us ordinary people, I am afraid that there is not so much capital to help us get out of the difficulty. Therefore, we must treat depression based on the principle of early detection and early treatment.
Fortunately, the 37-year-old Phelps came out of depression, otherwise the world would have lost another famous swimmer, which is also a big blow to the world swimming world. Now Phelps is only 37 years old, which is the golden age of life, and I hope he can overcome his pain, get through the difficulties as soon as possible, and return to his former championship status.
