During Mental Health Awareness Week our panel will be discussing how we can breakdown the stigma of mental health in our community. In an article written in TechCrunch in December of last year and according to a study by Michael Freeman, entrepreneurs are 50% more likely to report having a mental health condition, with some specific conditions being incredibly prevalent amongst founders. Founders are: 2X more likely to suffer from depression 6X more likely to suffer from ADHD 3X more likely to suffer from substance abuse 10X more likely to suffer from bi-polar disorder 2X more likely to have psychiatric hospitalization 2X more likely to have suicidal thoughts Starting companies and scaling them is inherently tremendous hard, mentally, physically and emotionally. The grind can be a toxic one, with dozens of factors all contributing to make it even more treacherous.
