Everton forward Bernard has been seeing a psychologist for the last year after suffering an anxiety attack.
The Brazilian has revealed he sought help after being concerned by a number of symptoms, including blurred vision.
Bernard, who joined Goodison Park in 2018, said he was speaking out in a bid to help others who are suffering with mental health problems and encourage them to follow him in seeking treatment.
'I've been having therapy for the past year, I see a psychologist,' he told EvertonTV. 'It's not something I previously stigmatised, but I never thought I would require this type of treatment.
