Hoping he gets through this and comes out stronger than ever on and off the court

Stay resilient, Pat. In retrospect, he did not look physically well in any of the games this year. His health is most important.
Anxiety is no joke and a real condition. I wish Patrick well in his recovery.
I'm glad he's taking a break and getting help. IMO he should just take the rest of the season off. Nothing is that important.
Basketball is just a game. Glad Patrick has the perspective to step away.
Yea. I agree. Hope he gets time away from it all. No reason to be at practice or games I would think, unless he feels like it would help.
Yep. Get away as long as needed
Yeah, he definitely needs to take care of this now because it will only get worse if it goes unaddressed.
From Nebrasketball, all best to the McCaffery family.
Hope PMC is alright, Anxiety is no joke. I wish him the best
Best wishes to Patrick. As mentioned, anxiety is no joke. I have a family member with anxiety, and it can be debilitating. Panic attacks are scary.
I've been in the hospital 4 times for severe anxiety and panic attacks. I don't wish it on anyone. Hope he gets well real soon.
Wish Patrick well -- severe anxiety is something to take seriously.

Anxiety is not fun at all. Constant worrying/doubt, racing thoughts. Best wishes to him, glad to see he’s taking time for himself.
Anxiety is a bitch. Hopefully he can get it all figured out/worked out. Wishing him the best. Mental health is exponentially more important than the game of basketball.
Thanks also to those visitors here with their well wishes. We can be hard on each other about contests, but its heartening to see when there's something REALLY important, that theres still some good out there.
Good for him for recognizing the problem and taking it head on. I dare say almost everyone deals with severe anxiety at least part of their life. Godspeed to him.
The hits keep coming for this basketball team, but life is like that. Hope they can come together. The best teams are formed under duress. Look no further than Ronnie Lester’s senior year when he was injured. Everyone else stepped up and in the end they became a better team despite the turmoil.

I think the expectations (external and internal) put on him being the coaches son can be overwhelming. I think a change might lighten his anxiety. Get well young man
I'm glad this isn't related to Pmac's previous bout with cancer. That said, I know all too well the crushing effects that anxiety (and insomnia) can have on a person. It's absolutely crippling and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
Don't worry about basketball and get well, Patrick!

Good for him putting himself and his mental health first. Kid has been through more than most of us already. Hope he can get some healing.
Get yourself healthy, Patrick.
Gonna miss watching you play to your potential in the meantime...
A lot of us old guys were brought up with that whole tough guy, never cry, bury your feelings, don't be a pussy mentality. It was prevalent in life in general...but especially in sports.
In Doodle's humble opinion it's better now that people (especially high profile individuals) feel more free to say, "I'm not right and I need help."
Much better.

Much better.
When people are struggling with issues or injured like last night in the NFL game it quickly puts everything in perspective.
Get will Pat, we all love you.
Get will Pat, we all love you.
Get out of my head!
Yes, absolutely deal with it now and get the best handle on it that you can. Everyone with it is different but as stated above, I don’t wish it on anyone.
The kid has had a tough go. Hoping for the best for PMac. He's a much needed piece on this team.
As someone who suffers from anxiety I can't even imagine playing a game in front of a crowd.
Didn't think about that and throw in the constant scrutiny
Mental health is so important & stigmatized. It's not easy being a D1 player let alone being son of the coach. Hopefully he takes all the time he needs & gets the appropriate treatment to come out of this better & stronger & with the tools needed to successfully go forward. Wishing him only the best
