Common Mental Health Problems That Affect Attorneys

 

Insomnia, excessive anxiety and worry, diminished ability to concentrate ... these are all symptoms of a major depressive disorder.

Substance abuse and body dysmorphic disorder type behavior tends to stem from common mental health problems. And these mental health issues affect attorneys more than the general populations. That includes depression, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, bi-polar disorder and mania. When symptoms are all appearing at a high degree, attorneys are dealing with the most severe case of a major depressive disorder.
