Hackett to seek help abroad

AUSTRALIAN Olympic swimming great Grant Hackett says he will seek treatment overseas for mental health problems after what he called “the toughest week of my life”.

The 36-year-old, who went into hiding after his brief arrest last week following a family bust-up, released a statement thanking “mum and dad for helping me through the toughest week of my life”. “I know I have some mental health issues and I am seeking help here in Australia and I will be also going overseas,” the former 1,500-meter world record-holder said late on Tuesday. In 2014, he checked into a US rehabilitation clinic to treat an addiction to sleeping pills.
