LAWYERS AND MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE ISSUES
In "Easy Rider", it was funny for a while. In real life, it is not.

But according to a recent and comprehensive landmark study of U.S. lawyers, called “The Prevalence of Substance Use and Other Mental Health Concerns among American Attorneys,”many lawyers are not seeking the help they need.
