Ronnie O'Sullivan says he does not "want to throw in the towel just yet" after being well beaten in his 6-3 defeat by Chang Bingyu in the semi-finals of the Wuhan Open on Friday.
The seven-time world champion fought back against China Open winner Mark Selby in the quarter-finals on Thursday to seal a 5-3 victory, but he has spoken candidly at this week's ranking event about his struggles.
O'Sullivan has taken steps to prioritise his mental health in recent years, withdrawing from tournaments and discussing his battles with depression and anxiety.
"The disease came back big time today," said the 50-year-old Englishman. "If I'm honest I don't think I will ever get over it."
