Most professionals are inundated with various tasks, and they struggle to keep a good work life balance. A while ago, the Florida Bar published an article about lawyers’ well-being. In that article, it stated that lawyers’ suicide rate is double that of the general population, 18% of lawyers are alcoholics which is double the national average, 33% of lawyers are diagnosed with a mental disorder, lawyers are 3.6 times more likely to suffer severe depression, and 7 of 10 lawyers would change careers.
All professionals may not have the same statistics above, but most share the same issues that impact their livelihood and career. Help is available to those in need. For more information, go to ABA for more information.
