According to psychology (btw psychology is a good area for Ex lawyers to branch into), people vent their stress in different ways.
Smoking, etc. it’s all part of compulsiveness
Well he had perfectly legal avenues - he could have quit his job, like many do, without using stress as an excuse. He could have gone to a smaller firm. He could have done other forms of legal work. Stress is not an excuse for upskirting someone.

Neither is depression - litigation is depressing, you don't see daylight when you have trial or discovery. Any normal lawyer will feel the pressure. There's the added pressure on you to win, along with time pressures and client pressures. If he needed an out, he should have quit

That being said it's hard in that he might be too caught up in the cycle to realise it
