A small survey conducted by Blind earlier this month shows alarmingly high percentages of tech professionals experiencing impostor syndrome. Do you feel like you don’t deserve your position despite all the effort and accomplishments you’ve achieved in the workplace? Then maybe you should take a look at this article.

Some months ago, after the suggestion of one of our readers, I wrote an article on mental health among developers. The article was based on the results of the Stack Overflow 2018 survey and personal research.

According to the Stack Overflow survey, mental health issues like depression and anxiety are particularly common among the respondents. In the US, particularly, almost 20% of respondents said they deal with either or both. The largest percentage reported a mood or emotional disorder.
