I am a developer who also has depression and anxiety. Sometimes I feel ok, and sometimes it is a struggle to move. Based on my interactions with other developers through livestreams, talks, and conferences, I believe that there are many others who deal with these issues. Depression and anxiety are common, but not commonly talked about. I would like to share my struggles, triumphs, and failures with depression and anxiety in the context of coding, and offer advice on managing and talking about these issues.

The talk will roughly follow this order: - Brief intro - Some statistics about depression and anxiety - My own struggle with depression and anxiety - Impact of depression and anxiety on coding - What helps and what makes things worse - How to talk about anxiety and depression - Question and Answer
