> "people with depression and similar mental health problems aren't welcome at Stripe"

That an interesting question. Would you like to work in a tandem with a person with mental health problems? Is it the same as asking "people with chronic fatigue and similar health issues are not welcome at company specialized at manual labor" ?

I work with several people who suffer from a range of mental health problems, and most of my closest friends can be described the same way. So you could even argue that it's my preference.

As for whether it's the same question as the chronic fatigue thing, i'm not sure. I think largely it comes down to how negative their perceived impact on their colleagues is?
