Rob Cross Admits Mental Health Struggle, Stops Meds

Darts player Rob Cross has opened up about his long-term mental health challenges, a subject he previously felt too guilty to discuss openly. He has recently made the decision to stop taking prescribed medication, which he felt suppressed his emotions and left him feeling "low in life."

In the weeks leading up to the PDC World Championship, Cross ceased his medication, stating he now feels "great." He believes this change has allowed his natural "hyperness" to emerge, rather than feeling like he was suppressing a part of himself. He admitted that without this change, he likely would have been eliminated in the first round.

Cross, who also lives with ADHD, emphasized that his mental health issues are not directly linked to his professional darts career but are a personal struggle. He encourages anyone experiencing similar feelings to seek help and talk about their experiences, noting that human beings can only endure so much without support.
