Stephen Johns worked out at the rink, trying to get back to playing after a concussion. Dallas Stars teammates asked how he was doing but never quite understood. "They kind of went on about their days not really knowing what was really going on, kind of the thoughts I was having and the severity of the depression and anxiety," Johns said. "Once I started being more open about it, guys would come out and say, 'Man, I had no idea you were going through that,' and 'I wish I would've known, wish I could've helped.'"
