litigation stress syndrome

Litigation Stress Syndrome is a condition that can develop in individuals involved in lengthy or contentious legal cases. It results from ongoing stress, uncertainty, and emotional strain related to the legal process. Symptoms may include anxiety, difficulty concentrating, sleep problems, irritability, and physical health issues. This syndrome is not an official medical diagnosis but recognizes the significant psychological impact legal proceedings can have on a person's mental well-being. Managing this stress often involves legal support, counseling, and self-care strategies to help individuals cope during challenging legal conflicts.
