Seems that a significant part of HN about dealing with depression?

If you are not careful with work/life balance, the hustle of working in the startup world can easily get you down. Also the high rate of failure in the startup world contributes. A startup founder/employee that is working 80 hour weeks has every right to be depressed.

Many in tech are on the autistic spectrum or merely antisocial and happiness is strongly related to social connections.

I'm pretty sure Lexapro saved my life. No one knows about it though, I'd be seen as unstable and unreliable.

A significant part of the world is dealing with depression. HN is merely a place where discussing such things, particularly in a pragmatic way, is something you can do (mostly) without ridicule or worry about stigma.
