Leah's emotional struggles in the villa of Love Island USA season 6

During their discussion, she expressed that she considered leaving the show three times. If it wasn't for her fellow contestant and friend Serena Page, she would have definitely quit the show.
“There were three instances I can remember where I literally said, ‘I’m not having fun any more. I have to go.’ The reason that I did stay was Serena. She’s the one who convinced me to stay,” she said.
She said gossip about her and Rausch started spreading around the villa, and that was intolerable for her and she talked to the production team about her leaving. She revealed an unknown detail about the show, where she said the production team offers the islanders 'Psych Sessions' where they can speak to a mental health professional. Leah was called to these sessions three times a day to make sure she was doing okay.
