Nearly 40% of Blind (teamblind.com) users are self-reporting depression. This is far from a representative sample of the tech industry. In my experience, people only join a service like Blind if they feel some level of dissatisfaction at work that they can’t bring up to their own leadership. It makes sense that this population is more likely to be depressed, and it is far from representative of the entire industry.
