Attorneys suffer from depression at a rate of four times that of the general population, according to a Johns Hopkins study. This film features four lawyers and a former judge discussing their personal experiences with depression. Several national experts are also interviewed, including Joshua Wolf Shenk, author of the best-selling book “Lincoln’s Melancholy: How Depression Fueled a President to Greatness.” A renowned trial lawyer before becoming president, Lincoln suffered from depression his entire life. The film provides hope and resources for those who may be suffering in silence.
