It’s a bad state to be in. Being off the wall helps. At this moment with all the cash flow and investment challenges, mental health doesn’t even rise to the top but it’s there in all startup founders. Curiously enough, without hard core data, I think desi founders get hit worse. My Israeli firm, or the Brazilian firm. The founders are stressed but it’s not bad. But most of the desi founders are bad enough that it impacts business.

I am a bit of a lurker and rarely post here so forgive me for showing up out of nowhere. Also, this is a dummy email account so excuse the name etc (real name is Aditi Raghuram). I wanted to reach out to the community and get your take on a topic that is only recently gaining some traction (at least in organizational psychology circles). Specifically, I'm curious to hear your opinions, experiences, and exposure to mental health issues in startup founders and how it may have impacted the person ( stuff that was observable and showed up in their decisions and actions) and the startup. So, have you or anyone you know experienced mental health issues while leading a startup? What steps did the founder take to address the issue, if at all? I would love to hear your thoughts and experiences on this topic. A little bit about my curiosity on this topic from my background - I am an organizational psychologist and coach leaders individually, do group coaching sessions mostly for startups, and consult for startups on culture and well-being.
