New Research Reveals Lawyers Most Stressed Profession!

A New Zealand based business this week launched a new report called “Lawyers Under Stress!” which explores the spiralling rates of stress, depression and anxiety experienced by people working in the legal profession.  Research, both here and throughout Australia, England, Canada and the United States consistently indicates that lawyers are one of the most vulnerable professions in terms of dealing with stress and experience some of the highest rates of suicide, addiction and depression of any occupational grouping.

Rachel Hill, the principal of Rachelhillconsulting.com said today “Lawyers are reluctant to seek support, in part borne of the stigma associated with any perception that they are “failing to succeed”.  In turn this leads to increased stress levels and, left unchecked,impacts negatively on health and well-being, on family life and work achievements.”

“The most successful people in business, and in their personal lives, seek out the right kinds of supports early so that they can succeed in a pressure-cooker environment” she said.“They take proactive, positive steps in developing work-life strategies before stress arises.  In doing so, they obviate the prospect of unchecked stress levels reaching crisis points and are therefore able to choose to focus, not only on achieving their goals and ambitions, but to enjoy the process of doing so.”

“Those people who do seek outthis type of support, also make a personal commitment to take responsibility for choosing a happier and more fulfilling life” Ms Hill concluded.
