The mental health of Australian elite athletes.

Objectives: Currently, little is known about the prevalence of mental disorders in athletes. This study aims to investigate Australian elite athletes' symptoms of general psychological distress and common mental disorders.

Design: A cross-sectional survey design was employed to assess self-reported symptom prevalence.

Internet-based interventions to promote mental health help-seeking in elite athletes: an exploratory randomized controlled trial.

Background: Mental disorders are more common in young adults than at any other life stage. Despite this, young people have low rates of seeking professional help for mental health problems. Young elite athletes have less positive attitudes toward seeking help than nonathletes and thus may be particularly unlikely to seek help.
