I've thought the same thing. I'm constantly amazed that companies don't consider the health of their employees, both physical and mental, worth investing in. It's my firm belief that it would pay back many times over. I like your shrink idea (though probably once a week is enough). If it was me, I'd also encourage daily 1-hour exercise (gym, soccer, walking, whatever). It really helps.

I'm constantly amazed that companies don't consider the health of their employees, both physical and mental, worth investing in. It's my firm belief that it would pay back many times over. Oddly enough, the "old-style" corporations that have gone out of style, did. At many investment banks, you can still schedule a confidential appointment with an on-site doctor or therapist. The depression stigma isn't as strong at the banks as it is in technology companies and in startups. I'm basically unfundable (cyclothymia, aka "bipolar 3") by VCs, but my condition, because it's well-treated, would be a non-issue at most financial firms (even at high levels).
