Ruth Lawrence (string/knot mathematics) was said to have said being hothoused was akin to child abuse. Judit Polgar may have said something similar. (She also encountered a huge amount of semi institutional sexism in chess, and maybe has more reason to feel unhappy about that, than her father Lazlo's "experiment")
On the whole, absent some repeatable experiment it's hard to know how much angst in super bright people is a side effect of intelligence, how much is being taken out of cohort and thrown into an older group with different mental and physical (amygdala) development, and how much is their overbearing controlling parents.
Not super smart, not hothoused so not speaking from experience.
