Depression is a commonly occurring mental health issue in the general population and in athletic populations. Sports medicine professionals need to consider the unique risk factors of athletes when screening and managing depression in athletes. Sports medicine professionals should provide or refer athletes for evidence-based treatment by providers who are experienced with and can consider the unique stressors and environmental factors that athletes face.
