... the lawyers in my town seem very relaxed and friendly. Even the ones who work in "unpleasant" fields such as family law (doing divorces, child support, etc.).
I live in a town of about 35,000 people. Are lawyers in small towns less prone to being stressed out and depressed?

I read something that said dentists were the most depressed (either that or it might have been suicidal). I suppose it depends on what kind of lawyer you are. You'd probably be more stressed out if you were a civil/criminal case lawyer than if you were a tax lawyer. Just less stress and you're not as torn in your own moral values (say if you were defending a murderer).

A lawyer's stress/depression would depend on the types of cases they deal with. It makes sense that a small-town lawyer would deal with less problems than would a lawyer who works in a city, so they'd be more relaxed in general.

It's just the booze, anti-anxiety pills and Prozac covering up the melancholy. Law sucks!!!!!!!!

I've heard dentistry is the most depressing.
