Seattle Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald speaks openly about his struggles with depressive symptoms among the chaos of a sudden move to Seattle, the death of a beloved dog, and a first child entering his household. He admits that he could barely even get out of bed and that he was not a great leader his first season with the Seahawks, but that he finally got to the point where he felt like himself again in the latter half of the 2025 season.
