There is a good amount of pathologizing done here in good faith. Mostly reflecting their own experiences onto this person.

If I was this person I would consider getting a therapist, even if it takes time to find one that jives well with you. I found a great one and it has opened doors I did not know existed.

Usually when you tell someone to get a therapist, they won’t. Especially if they are young. So I will provide alternatives with less start-up.

Watch HealthyGamerGG. Dr. Tracey Marks is great if you want to learn more about various psychiatric things. Exercise/socializing/going outside/healthy diet are superpowers for programmers.
