Research commissioned by UNSW and presented at the 2008 Tristan Jepson memorial lecture shows that depression is a common and disabling problem for the legal profession, particularly law students.
UNSW research has found that middle-aged Australians are more anxious and depressed than their elderly counterparts, turning on its head a prevailing myth about old age.
Dr Geoff Gallop, former Premier of Western Australia, will discuss the challenge of living with a mental illness in a high profile profession when he gives the second Tristan Jepson Memorial Lecture, presented by UNSW.
