Address these common mental health issues in tech and media

The tech and media industries can be fast-paced, high-energy, demanding, and unrelenting. The people who work in these industries are under incredible pressure to perform, possibly causing stress, anxiety, and depression if they struggle to cope without proper support.

Anxiety

Taxing demands and high expectations can leave tech workers in a near-constant state of anxiety, and sometimes unable to relax or unwind even during their off-hours.

Depression

Feeling like they can’t catch up or slow down can be more than just taxing, it can even lead to depression if left unchecked for too long.

Burnout

When the long hours and high demands catch up, it can mean exhaustion takes over, aggravating other conditions and symptoms that are at play.
