A friend is conducting interviews with startup founders and small business owners for a project: a mental health service tailored for founders.
Burnout, anxiety, insomnia, and decision fatigue are common challenges, and general therapists often don’t fully understand the unique pressures founders face.
Do you think mental health services tailored specifically for founders are truly needed? Answer this quick poll to help us understand if this idea resonates or if it’s just our illusion.
Please share with anyone who might find this helpful.
Thanks, and wishing you a successful and balanced new year!

Apart from revenue, the founders need somebody to keep them in the right mindset.
The startup journey is filled with ups and downs and keeping the right mindset in all these situations and not losing focus of the startups vision will need external help.

I’d say that founders don’t have any unique problems. Everything you mentioned can apply to any "regular" person.
