[QUOTE="Nicole, post: 764, member: 16"] Hey guys, It's mental health awareness week and I came across this interesting article from Legal Week: [URL]http://www.legalweek.com/sites/legalweek/2018/05/16/burnt-out-new-research-highlights-impact-of-long-working-hours-on-lawyers-mental-health/[/URL], but it's under a paywall! So I wanted to summarise some of the findings because I think it's really important that this kind of thing is open at an early stage. 130 lawyers were surveyed by Legal Week for this. Legal Week - "[B]Burnt out: new research highlights impact of long working hours on lawyers' mental health[/B]" [LIST] [*]They found that "[B]91% believe long working hours are negatively impacting their mental health and physical health[/B]". [*]Over 37% "[B]regularly work more than 60 hours a week[/B]" and 15% do over 70 hours a week. [*]"[B]virtually all respondents" work a minimum of one weekend a month[/B], almost half work do "two or three" weekends of the month (this one surprised me!). [*]About [B]40% said "they had experienced mental health issues[/B]" while working as a lawyer. Of those 98% said work stress contributed to that. [/LIST] I hope I don't scare you guys and I think it does vary a lot (the survey includes responses that vary from a lot to a little in the numbers), just something we can be aware of :). [/QUOTE]
