Biles, the most decorated gymnast in World Championship history and a four-time Olympic gold medalist, has discussed anxiety and depression in her life. Along with Raisman, Biles also spoke out about Nassar's past abuse. The 23-year-old told Priyanka Chopra in the actress's YouTube Originals special last year that going to therapy "comes back to my childhood and everything that's happened to me being sexually abused."
There was a time, Biles said, where depression consumed her. "I never left my room, I was sleeping all the time. I told one of my lawyers, 'I sleep all the time because it's the closest thing to death.'" Therapy, she told POPSUGAR in a past interview, helps her mentally, as does a solid support system. She has talked about being on anti-anxiety medication.
Biles has also spoken about her ADHD, which she was diagnosed with around nine years old, saying that it's better to classify it as a superpower than a problem. "Having ADHD, and taking medicine for it is nothing to be ashamed of [sic] nothing that I'm afraid to let people know," she tweeted back in 2016.
