Attorneys suffer from alcoholism/addiction and other mental health problems at double the rates of non-attorneys. Men in the profession are even more profoundly affected especially with depression. These conditions are not only personally devastating but can ruin an attorney's practice and lead to discipline problems. Lawyer Assistance Programs (LAPs) are available in every state and many lawyers have successfully recovered from these conditions. Learn how you can help yourself and others. |
