This topic is kind of taboo in the software industry, yet it is crucial that we, as developers, talk about it.
Personally, I think that the fear to fail is one of the biggest factors that fuels anxiety and depression. When you found yourself in an environment that makes things difficult, it is even worse, because you don't feel contained by your colleagues, maybe worse, maybe they shame anyone that makes a mistake.
I don't think that I've had to deal with severe depression or anxiety, yet, my advice is that to escape that kind of situations you should focus on projects that can make you feel better, focus on other things outside the scope of that toxic environment, it is a lot of work to do, but maybe someday that project that you put your focus on may set you free of the things that makes you feel bad.
Hopefully this kind of debates will help people struggling right now.
Cheers :)
