Mario Gila opens up: hit rock bottom, sought help from a psychologist
The Milan defender reveals it in the second episode of 'The Chamber', the club's YouTube series on mental wellbeing.
Mario Gila has revealed that early in his career in Italy he hit rock bottom and needed a psychologist to pull himself out of it. The defender of AC Milan, who was only 21 at the time, tells the story in the second episode of 'The Chamber', the club's YouTube interview series on mental health, as Corriere dello Sport reports.
The Spaniard, who came from Lazio, says he changed how he looked at things. He used to be very hard on himself and demanded too much; now he describes himself as far calmer and sees setbacks as steps forward. He is currently happy both at work and at home, and credits the support network around him.
Gila adds that difficult moments will always come in life, and what matters is not getting stuck in them.
