I’ve had a few guests on my podcast to discuss mental health and depression specifically. At one point I wondered whether I am talking about one thing too much. But when it comes to mental health and depression specifically, you cannot talk about it enough. Depression is still taboo and still a struggle that many of us lawyers face, and every time we talk about it, we are creating a safer space for anyone who may relate. And so today I am speaking with Dan Lukasik, the founder of Lawyers with Depression and a former lawyer and managing partner prior to becoming a pioneer of the movement toward shedding light on the important of mental health in the workplace as lawyers. In this episode, Dan talks about his journey in managing his depression and the three pillars of the mental health toolbox that he recommends for anyone who may be going through a similar experience.  Show notes: Connect with Dan on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dan-lukasik-8b3913b/ Visit his websites here: www.lawyerswithdepression.com www.yourdepressioncoach.com
