The current economic crisis is causing lawyers tremendous concern and stress. Stress can trigger or exacerbate mental health problems. Even without the additional stress of hard times attorneys tend to be more prone to alcoholism and depression than the general population. Taking care of your emotional well-being as well as your financial well-being is critical. Prevention and early intervention are vital to dealing with this widespread crisis in the legal profession. It is important to understand the signs and the symptoms of emotional problems as well as deal with stress. Identifying effective strategi es for confronting the risks will help prevent the addiction and mental health issues that plague lawyers.
