That Which Must Not Be Spoken Of: A Personal Look at Mental Health in Infosec

Sullen, Moody, Anti-Social, Awkward, Outcast, Misfits. Our people right? The heart and soul of the people running the internet and technology. Sadly, it's killing us, in some cases literally. Yet we still refuse to talk about it. It is more acceptable to say you're a Windows NT fan then to admit to having mental health issues.
