So much this. The continuous mental stress that agile imposes is so harmful. Having to re-justify your job every morning in daily status meetings, then having to spend all day worrying about having enough to say tomorrow. Counterproductively, it prevents me from getting in the zone and getting more done, so now I have less to status report tomorrow.
Apparently it's not just me either. I know someone who is a mental health professional (Silicon Valley area) and they've mentioned seeing an increasing trend of patients who bring up agile at the workplace as a cause for the stress that leads them to go see a mental health professional.
