Welcome
to
our
daily
feature, Quote
of
the
Day.
There
was
no
bravery
in
me
seeking
help.
I
was
completely
broken.
I
didn’t
think
‘oh
today
I
need
to
go
get
some
support
for
this’,
I
was
literally
broken.
— Chris
Parsons,
an
HSF
Kramer partner
who
serves
as
chair
of
the
firm’s
India
practice,
in
comments
given
to
Law.com
International,
concerning
his
struggles
with
mental
health
issues
throughout
his
decades-long
career
at
the
firm.
“While
there’s
no
doubt
that
the
stigma
has
reduced,
there’s
still
stigma
there,”
he
said.
“For
me,
knowing
that
the
firm
is
understanding
and
is
giving
me
space
and
time
has
been
the
thing
that
I’ve
found
most
helpful
in
getting
better.”
