Lawyers. If you know them, you know they're always "stressed out." If you've met them, you know they're "overworked." And chances are, you've probably heard them call their profession "toxic." Why is the legal profession so stressful and why are lawyers statistically at risk for a myriad of serious mental health problems? Why was Jackie persuaded that she suffered from work-induced depression and burnout before she learned she had autoimmune encephalitis? Why is Elton John so amazing? To answer these questions and a few others, Bismarck (retired) lawyer, Jackie, brings in special guest NYC lawyer, Michael Kasdan, who is also a mental health advocate rockstar and a lot of fun. Big law, small law, and everywhere in between, this is a conversation about mental health and lawyers you don't want to miss!
