Adam Peaty: Olympic champion opens up on struggles and how gold medals do not fix problems

Adam Peaty, the three-time Olympic gold medalist, has opened up about his struggles with mental health. In an interview with the BBC, Peaty said that he has been struggling with anxiety and depression for several years. He said that winning gold medals did not make his problems go away, and that he felt like he was "living a lie" by pretending to be happy.

Peaty said that he decided to speak out about his mental health struggles in the hope that it would help others who are struggling. He said that he wants people to know that they are not alone, and that there is help available.
