Bright Lights with Lacy Johnson EP41: Royce White

White led both De LaSalle and Hopkins high schools to state basketball titles. He starred at Iowa State and was taken in the first round of the NBA Draft by the Houston Rockets in 2012. Battling his own anxiety, White became an outspoken mental health advocate. 
According to White, mental health isn’t just about anxiety, depression or PTSD or OCD or addiction.  "It’s about the human condition, and like there’s a huge existential crisis going on, an identity crisis going on, a moral crisis." White believes we need to talk more about mental illness and understand it’s an issue with a lot of people.
