Good point. I focused mostly on vocal/visible actors which may form only a small subset of survey respondents. Still, I have no evidence in the other direction either.
Even if depression is more represented, I don’t feel like it really informs the content of most posts on this website. If anything, I’d ascribe them an optimistic mindset which is not usually associated with depression.
The OP didn’t do the work to show the point with depression but depression is over-represented on LessWrong: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/Xi6syQenk24nQTzgz/2016-lesswrong-diaspora-survey-analysis-part-three-mental
