After healing myself from serious suicidal depression / mania without long term psychiatric drugs, what I can say is this.. Depression should be examined as a strategy one uses to avoid feeling past a certain threshold. Certain "emotional states" get coded in as unsafe in our implicit memory system and instead of experiencing the emotion we push it into our cortext where we can wrap a story around it.. Writing Gratitude letters is as effective as Prozac in many people; this was in fact one of my primary tools. The other was a commitment to feeling all my emotions without trying to escape them and to face the fear and anxiety directly. This felt like dying -- in fact this is what has been called "an ego death" or "spirtual rebirth". In Modern speak, I'd say this is the rough equivlent of using your cortext to bootstrap an emotional experience in the lymbic system that recodes implicit memory in the amygdala. It's damn hard to do, and for good reason -- you don't want to give write access to your source code to any old program.. This is why psyhedelics can work well -- they can rewrite those implicit emotional memories. I've been having great success with this model with my coaching clients and am developing a more robust model and writings on this.. Of course, happy to provide my usual free session for benevolent hackers who may be struggling with "depression".

It's not really hard to onboard new engineers with Scala, Clojure or even Ruby backgrounds.
Very understanding (or even no) partners is probably a large percentage of it!
