Mindfulness meditation has gone mainstream in medical treatment. It benefits patients by reducing their stress level and by improving some of the medical symptoms of stress-related disorders. These include psychiatric conditions like anxiety and depression, skin rashes, high blood pressure, heart disease and chronic pain. Lawyers are extremely stressed. They manifest their stress in their high rates of depression (19% of all lawyers), alcoholism (20% of all lawyers) and suicide (double the general population rate).
