You mean, people get into this field *deliberately*?
I'd heard ugly rumors to that effect. Mind you, I haven't actually seen
it.
Maybe we need to start a twelve-step program - but don't ask me for
help. My twelve step program to gain control of my twelve step programs
is taking up all my time.

"Ordinary people...are nothing without the ordinary truth, nothing at
all. They die without it: without innocence or candour. Indeed the very
great majority kill themselves long long before their time. Live as
children; grow pale as adolescents; show a flash of life in love; die in
their twenties and join the poor creatures that creep angry and restless
about the earth."
-Patrick O'Brian, "H.M.S. Surprise"
