The article is basically saying the same thing, for what it's worth, and is written by someone who claims to have extensive experience with the same issues you're discussing.

The main message is "If you're feeling these things, please talk to someone you trust. If someone talks to you about these issues, please don't dismiss them." I think it's a good message, even if presented at Techcrunch. The more we as a culture talk about mental health issues in a constructive way the better.
