In March 2018, in response to DeMar DeRozan's public discussion of his struggles with depression, Love revealed that he had been seeing a therapist for several months following a panic attack during a game in November 2017. He wrote of "creating a better environment for talking about mental health" and the need to remember that "Everyone is going through something that we can't see." In August 2018, Love continued his advocacy for mental health awareness, discussing his family's history of depression, along with his own struggles with anxiety, rage, and "dark times" where he would hide in his room and not talk to anyone. Love committed to forming a foundation focusing on mental health, particularly for young boys, adding that he believes he's "found life's work."
