Mental Health in Tech Industry

The tech industry of today is the big talk of the 21st century, known for it's cutting-edge innovations, and the rapid evolution of tech has transformed and is the future-bearer of the digital landscapes, making ground-breaking advancements in all aspects of life and history.
However, the very tech professionals who make these advancements a possibility often times don't get the accolades they deserve (story for another time). Mental health issues that are associated with these advancements are not always in limelight discussions.
The high pressure comes in different forms: tight deadlines, constant needs for advancements mainly to meet demands, and competitions with rivals.
Often times, tech professionals are exposed to these mental health issues. (I guess that's the token price we pay for the sacrifice of tech advancements and innovations, or not so token.)
I am writing this because issues like this should be prioritized and made aware so as to checkmate the total well-being of these tech professionals are being put in check from time to time.
