Alessandro Matri discusses mental health struggles and health anxieties

Former footballer Alessandro Matri has opened up about his mental health struggles following his departure from Juventus and a difficult period at AC Milan. In a clip released ahead of his appearance on the television program Ballando con le stelle, Matri described experiencing depression and hypochondria.

Matri revealed that during his professional decline, he suffered from intense fears regarding his physical health, specifically believing he might have ALS or multiple sclerosis. He noted that the pressure of being a professional athlete often prevents players from discussing such vulnerabilities with coaches or teammates.

To manage these challenges, Matri sought psychological analysis and shared his fears with his family. He stated that while he still manages minor anxieties and undergoes medical examinations every six months, his condition has improved.
