In the realm of family law, mental health considerations have always been significant. However, in recent times, there’s been a notable escalation in these issues.
Lynne attributes this heightened prevalence to the tumultuous nature of contemporary society, where global uncertainties and stressors affect individuals’ lives. Events like the COVID-19 pandemic have left people feeling unsettled, she elaborates. This unease often worsens existing mental health challenges, making divorce proceedings more complex.
Navigating divorce amidst such circumstances poses unique challenges, especially regarding cohabitation during the process. Lynne underscores the tension simmering beneath the surface, likening it to “waiting for a match to ignite.”
It’s essential to recognize that these challenges aren’t the fault of the individuals, Lynne empathetically emphasizes. Even in the best circumstances, divorce is inherently stressful. However, in the current climate, the strain is particularly acute.
Lynne explains the toll divorce proceedings can take on individuals’ mental well-being, recounting encounters with clients grappling with depression and anxiety. We often see clients incapacitated by their mental health struggles; she laments. The divorce process can exacerbate these issues, making it immensely challenging for individuals to navigate.
Through her nuanced understanding and compassionate approach, Lynne Strober strives to support clients grappling with mental health challenges during divorce proceedings.
