Depression among top managers: the price of success

High-ranking positions and large salaries do not always bring satisfaction. One in four top managers suffers from clinical depression, while one in two experiences deep loneliness.

Why does success become a trap?

Psychiatrist Darren Lee explains that the roots of this problem lie in childhood. If a child was praised exclusively for achievements, as an adult they begin to measure their worth solely by their successes.

Endless work and the fear of making mistakes turn career growth into a race without a finish line. This state leads to burnout and psychological disorders, despite outward well-being.
