An Engineer's Struggle: Overcoming Depression and Anxiety
As developers, we often focus on the technical aspects of our work, but mental health is an important part of our overall well-being. Unfortunately, depression and anxiety are common, yet rarely talked about in the developer community. In this talk, I will share my personal experiences with depression and anxiety and how they have impacted my work as a developer. I will also discuss the statistics on mental health in the tech industry, and provide tips and strategies for managing and talking about these issues. This talk will be both informative and relatable, as I will be sharing my struggles, triumphs and failures with depression and anxiety in the context of coding. Join me as we break the silence and discuss the importance of mental health in the developer community.
