I believe there is a form of PTSD that develops within toxic software development jobs and I wish it would receive more legitimate attention and treatment options.

I have tried to explain to my therapist why I have developed something like PTSD around peer reviews... yes, we all say "you are not your work" but that does not excuse being (dare I say) abusive in comments on PRs.

As a rule, work related trauma is a tabu that can not be mentioned in any circle.

And, since software development is a mostly creative work, software developers are strongly impacted by it.
