Meet Royce White anxiety sufferer

I missed this because I paid no attention to college basketball this year, but Aubrey Huff isn't the only prominent athlete who's "come out" recently as suffering from an anxiety disorder. Iowa State forward Royce White, a projected first-round pick in the upcoming NBA draft, is also doing the right thing and helping educate folks about anxiety:

• White said he's talking about his anxiety publicly because he wants to help. He said he believes other athletes probably encounter similar struggles but refuse to get treatment.

• "I want to speak out now, because not only do I understand my own anxiety, I understand that anybody who's had an anxiety disorder, diagnosed or not diagnosed, how it can affect their life."

• "So many people will go undiagnosed for their whole life and not understand it," White said. And they will suffer. It's suffering."

Courageous kid. I hope he soars.
