PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- She's the doctor on the Philadelphia Phillies tasked not with treating muscles and movement, but rather the mind.

Psychiatrist Dr. Deanna Nobleza is the club's first-ever mental health director and one of several professionals on staff to help players and coaches manage the ups and downs of baseball.

"There's a lot of care and attention being put to their physical health, but what I try to emphasize is that mental health is health," Nobleza said. "It's such a demanding lifestyle, you have a really rigorous travel schedule, you have people who are away from their families."
