Every situation is unique but seems like when your teammate dies by suicide it wouldn't be surprising that playing and practicing is triggering/causes some kind of ptsd. She's also in a different situation than her teammates as she was with the national team when KM died and didn't get the same opportunities to grieve with her teammates.

Exactly.  Also, Katie parents have repeatedly referred to a school disciplinary action following Katie's "defense of a teammate" in some sort of campus incident. I have no idea which teammate or what incident, but the suggestion that the death of a teammate could have been triggered by an incident involving another teammate might make it even more difficult to process one's grief by jumping right back into the team environment.  I can only imagine how difficult it must be for other teammates who knew and loved Katie to continue as "normal" as well.  I hope they are all getting the support they need.  Stanford has a lot more mental health resources than they used to (and every student ID now has a number on the back that students can call).  But, as Andrea suggests in her post, there needs to be a strong culture among coaches, professors, deans/administrators, etc. that accommodates treatment for mental health issues the same as more overt injuries/illnesses.
