I see plenty of mental health symptoms in founders and tech workers. The one thing I keep seeing is insomnia. Probably people are too stressed, too caffeinated, overworked, and depressed. Part of it is the demands of the modern world but I also think the life style is to blame, too. You really do need to work hard to get anything done in this industry and the cost can be being unable to wind down properly at night. I think mental health problems are common in tech but go massively under reported. I say this because autism in engineers is higher than the general population and things like ADHD and depression commonly occur alongside it. It seems to me that some of the reasons that make people so successful in tech might also make them more vulnerable to mental health issues. Now combine that with a culture that seems to under value caring for yourself and prioritise peak performance to a fault ... and you've got a problem.
