Also I suspect this holds true with other professions which require 'rejection of society's blessing' to work - certain types of artists, or the 'hacker living in the basement' trope, for example.

Hi Aella, I've also noticed that a handful of women who do "cam". (I don't say "cam models". To me that objectifying women. IMO) I've noticed that a handful suffer from some form of anxiety. I dont know if that's happened before or after they've started.
-
for me, before. when i was camming a lot of my social anxiety got better, actually. its still comes in waves tho.

I think it also might be that sex work is a last resort for many, so sex workers often have had difficult, mentally stressful lives.

I've always considered the term mental illness reserved for a rarer and primarily debilitating symptoms. And I wouldnt always associate that with persons that just have different boundaries socially and personally.
-
I guess the slight personality difference could just be a small part of the symptoms of the illness. Like comedians whom struggle with depression and used their work to cope. I see where you are coming from now.

I guess having to live a life that needs to be kept secret from some friends/family members/colleagues can’t help either.

I remember a Scandinavian study showing a higher prevalence of mental disorders in sex workers compared to the background population before they entered the sex work, followed by an increase in mental health issues.
-
But I would be cautious about speculation on the matter as 'mental illness' is a very non-homogeneous and so are sex workers. Furthermore, the socioeconomic and gender-related challenges may differ in degree between a Nordic welfare state and say the US.
