According to the Dave Nee Foundation, which promotes awareness of depression among lawyers, “lawyers are 3.6 times more likely to suffer from depression than non-lawyers.” In a February 2016 study published in the Journal of Addiction Medicine, it was noted that: “Levels of depression, anxiety, and stress among attorneys reported here are significant, with 28%, 19%, and 23% experiencing mild or higher levels of depression, anxiety, and stress, respectively.” Why are lawyers so unhappy? Why aren’t carpenters, plumbers, teachers, priests, or magicians the most unhappy profession? Is there something inherently different about the practice of law? Or is it the profession that attracts people prone to depression? To tackle these difficult questions, we interviewed Daniel Lukasik, an attorney who raises awareness of depression and helps lawyers obtain treatment.
