All-Stars DeMar DeRozan and Kevin Love continue to bring more awareness towards mental health issues, as both men courageously opened up again about their experiences to Jackie MacMullan of ESPN.com.

ESPN is doing a five-part series relating to the mental health issues that NBA players go through, and they focused this one on DeRozan, Love, Paul Pierce, Chris Bosh and Channing Frye, who battled depression following the deaths of his parents.

"I have anxiety, but I also come from a family with a history of depression," Love told MacMullan. "It's difficult to talk about. It's difficult to confront. I finally had to say to myself, 'Your whole life these things will affect you, so how are you going to manage it?'

Not long after DeRozan opened up about his battles with anxiety, Love revealed in March that he suffered a panic attack against the Atlanta Hawks. The 2016 NBA Champion began seeing a therapist to deal with the matter.

Love also talked about keeping it a secret for a while, as held "everything in," during his father's generation. Love doesn't have much communication with his father and had yet to inform him about the matter, per MacMullan.

Later on in the story, Love brought up a terrifying moment, in which he was struggling to breathe and thought he was having a heart attack. Cleveland Cavaliers trainer Steve Spiro rushed to help Love and try to calm him down.

Former Raptors and Miami Heat All-Star Chris Bosh also discussed his anxiety, and how hard it was to deal with social media labeling him as "soft," when his team lost the 2011 NBA Finals to the Dallas Mavericks.

Pierce detailed a stabbing incident that nearly took his life in 2000, and that he "felt trapped in a box," and "battled depression for a year." Pierce suffered from anxiety and had police watch his home for safety. Pierce admitted he wishes he opened up about the depression much earlier.

"You think when you come from a difficult environment that if you get out and you make it to the NBA, all that bad stuff is supposed to be wiped clean," DeRozan said. "But then this whole new dynamic loaded with stress comes your way. People say, 'What are you depressed about? You can buy anything you want.' I wish everyone in the world was rich so they would realize money isn't everything."
