It's probably up there. Deep depression is crippling, you become another person and make irrational choices.

I'm bored and my current thing is almost to a point of running itself. Let's start a new venture together. I have a few ideas.

I think high achievers are definitely candidates for depression/burn out more than the average person. Reaching the pinnacle of success in academia or industry can be a drag for someone who has put all their lives into a singe focus. Its what they life for, when the challenge is gone so is their desire.

I have owned a few different businesses over the years because I get bored with them all eventually when the challenge is gone. I know it's an issue too and I can't prevent it from happening. It sucks.

Realizing at 50 years old, with four children who call you daddy, that you should have been born with a vagina.

I think it's particularly hard on someone who has put all their life into a career, or scholastic pursuit. I understand you have more talents and can adapt but those high achievers who have put all their life into a career can find life pretty empty when goals are achieved.
I'm too distracted by shiny objects to ever be considered a high achiever.

Yea I am no high achiever by any means, and wasn't implying I was, but I get your point because I experience it to some degree. The "fun" for me is building it but I hate maintaining it.
