Lawyers are more likely than the general population to experience depression. Depression is serious and debilitating. Hope lies in the fact that depression can be successfully treated.
If you think you might be depressed please call the Lawyer Assistance Program
helpline at 1.800.255.0569 for confidential assistance.
New York State Bar Association Lawyer Assistance Committee member, Dan Lukasik, has just launched a blog for lawyers, judges and law students who struggle with depression. Dan plans to update the blog weekly. The blog will supplement the Lawyers with Depression Web site www.lawyerswithdepression.com which is updated regularly to remain current. You can access the blog through the Web site or directly at http://lawyerswithdepression.wordpress.com/ .
