Continuing his efforts to raise awareness about mental health, Cleveland Cavaliers star Kevin Love has teamed up with Schick Hydro for a new web series called "Locker Room Talk."

The latest episode features 23-time Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps, who, like Love, has been open about his mental health struggles.

"I was basically groomed to be this athlete, this person, and after a while it just got to the point where I didn't like being that. I wanted to be who I am," Phelps told Love. "It took me being at the all-time low of not wanting to be alive."

Love will also sit down with Boston Celtics legend Paul Pierce and fellow Cavalier Channing Frye over the course of the series.
