You already know this, but it bears repeating. We attorneys are susceptible to mental health issues because of the strain the practice of law puts on our minds and our bodies.

A 2016 study of roughly 13,000 attorneys and judges conducted by the American Bar Association's Commission on Lawyer Assistance Programs and the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation found that 28% of the responding attorneys experienced depression, 19% experienced anxiety and 23% experienced stress. According to a new study, 0.7% of the surveyed attorneys suffered from "serious" mental illness, while 6% of the surveyed attorneys had bouts of "moderate" or "severe" mental illness.
