if she has the yips and she lost the edge needed to compete at that level, but is able to function as a normal human being, she isnt experiencing a "mental health" issue. she would be experiencing an "athlete who doesnt have it anymore" issue.

the emotional fallout of that could certainly *become* a mental health issue, and i hope she has the support around her to help her process the fact that she is unable to do the thing she loves, potentially permanently.

but gymnastics is definitely like every other sport in the basic sense of requiring mind/body synchronicity. the difference between kicking a field goal and doing a vault, at its core, is minimal. and when kickers lose it, its on to the next one without any hand wringing about "mental health".
