Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou says Richarlison's openness about his struggles with mental health will benefit others who are seeking help.
Last week, Brazil forward Richarlison discussed how reaching out for psychological help "saved his life".
The 26-year-old added he was at "rock bottom" but therapy helped him to "turn things around".
"It's a credit to him," said Postecoglou. "I think the public aspect of it is a brave decision for him."
Richarlison has scored nine goals in his past 13 Spurs games and has made 48 appearances for his country.
"He has really benefited from the support that does exist, not just for him but for others in the community," Postecoglou added.
