Montreal Canadiens forward Jonathan Drouin opens up to John Lu about his mental health. 

Drouin opens up about stepping away from hockey last year to work on his mental health Recently, the Canadiens placed Jonathan Drouin on the injured reserve with a lower body injury. Inconvenient for sure, but nothing compared to the reason he had to leave the team last April, which had him miss Montreal's Stanley Cup run. Drouin later explained he was dealing with mental health issues - including anxiety and insomnia. The Canadiens forward sat down with TSN's John Lu to discuss how he's dealing with it now.

Athletes share their personal stories about mental health.
