This could happen in any profession or culture. Uber are just the ones in the spotlight right now.
The real issue here is unfortunately ONCE AGAIN, a lack of mental health awareness and services.
A psychiatrist has diagnosed someone with "high anxiety"...why aren't they are being subscribed treatment in the form of therapy or medicine? He went to ask for help, and was told something wasn't going well...let's do something to remedy that!

As someone who has gone through my own suicidal thoughts and had therapy and medication literally save my life, this infuriates me to no end.
