Over the years Michael Phelps (http://mashable.com/category/michael-phelps/), the most decorated Olympian in history, has used his voice (http://mashable.com/2017/05/05/michael-phelps-depression-mashable/) to become a prominent advocate for mental health.
The legendary swimmer recently spoke at the Kennedy Forum (https://thekennedyforum.org/livestream/)'s annual mental health conference in Chicago to open up about his struggle with depression and anxiety, CNN reported (http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/19/health/michael-phelps-depression/index.html).
In the 20-minute interview with political strategist David Axelrod, Phelps discussed everything from his post-Olympics depression to the moment he sought help, revealing he's struggled with suicidal thoughts in the past.
