I will be a guest lecturer at Solo Practice University at month end. SPU is an online resource for solo or small firm lawyers. The topic of discussion will be lawyers and depression. I will discuss how depression had a devstating impact on my life, my recovery and my views about how lawyers should handle mental health issues.
A John Hopkins University study in the early 1990's found that of 30 professions studied, lawyers were 3.6 times more likely to have depression. Two subsequent studies had similar results. Now, we all know that those numbers have not gone down, given today's world.
I will discuss the reasons why lawyers and depression tend to meet too often.
