Message: [QUOTE="mred, post: 5094617, member: 1324"] Last season, Emily Ryan missed Iowa State's first 9 games for an unspecified reason and came off the bench for the next 8 as she was eased back into things. Yesterday, we found out why. World Mental Health Day was yesterday (Oct 10) and in recognition of that, Emily released a video discussing her issues as a high-achieving athlete looking for any edge to get better, which resulted in developing an eating disorder in 2023. ISU's health staff became very concerned about this and pulled her from basketball-related activities a month before the season started to allow her body to recover. After the season, still struggling with mental issues around disordered eating, she spent three months being treated by an eating disorder facility in Denver. This is the story in her own words (5 minutes long): [MEDIA=youtube]xcesYUl7Efg[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
