There's something off about this. I don't want to be pedantic, but one of the images states "32% consume controlled substances to perform better and cope with long work hours and high stress", and then goes on to say 45% use painkillers, 34% use stimulants, 36% use antidepressants, and 35% use sleeping pills.

But antidepressants is defined as benzodiazepines, which aren't antidepressants, they're anxiolytics. Normally when someone talks about "antidepressants", they're referring to SSRIs, SNRIs, NDRIs, and some similar meds. They have a category for SSRIs, but their example medications include non-SSRIs. Regardless, all of the medications they list in the categories other than SSRIs ARE controlled substances. So, it should be at least 45% consume controlled substances.

Anyway, the odd math and misclassification of medications makes me question the results of this study. I don't doubt that tech execs are stressed, drink a lot, use illicit drugs, and prescription drugs... but I'm not sure I'd believe the specific percents given here.
