WTF is a "tech pro". Lots of people are depressed, we are living through some wild times right now. Part of the problem is that it is a pain in the ass to find a therapist and many don't accept insurance:<p>If a patient’s insurance company finds a reason why it shouldn’t pay for treatment, the psychiatrist cannot bill the patient separately.

In 2011, a report (pdf) from the US Department of Health and Human Services found that of the 45.6 million American adults with any kind of mental health illness, fewer than half received treatment.

Spending an extra $400+ a month on therapy is a lot for most people, even "tech pros".
