I hear your frustration. I can relate. But this:

I sincerely hope this was hyperbole. Please don’t ever allow anything work related to affect you to this extent. You are more than your job. There are other opportunities. There is much more to life than software.

You can say that as much as you want. Sounds completely reasonable, but good people are still going to feel like this guy. Good management should recognize this, and well, manage it, rather than have people grind themselves down, even if it is because of their own stupid pathology. I think it's just classed as being empathetic.

Sadly no. I've been depressed for over 20 years - this was the kick in the arse that I needed to spiral down into oblivion.
