Everyday Mental Disorders. Self-Diagnosis and Self-Help

Everyday mental disorders are such mental difficulties that anyone can encounter. They do not reach the level of pronounced psychoses, but bring serious suffering to the person and their family. Such difficulties are primarily addressed by psychologists and psychotherapists, who... study them and improve both professional help methods and preventive recommendations and guides for the independent correction of emerging mental problems.

This book is the result of the systematization of knowledge and extensive practice of a modern psychotherapist and serves as a basic guide to mental health. It describes the most common disorders today.

You will learn:

- How to differentiate between depression, depressive personality, and bipolar disorder. 
- Why anxiety takes stable forms of phobias, panic attacks, obsessions, and compulsions over time, and can also lead to generalized anxiety disorder. 
- How psychological trauma arises and how it is connected with addictions, relationship disturbances, physical illnesses, work and study difficulties. 
- What is actually behind the now-common terms "psychopath" and "sociopath." 
- What modern approaches exist for correcting eating disorders, sexual disorders, difficulties with work and money, and age-related "identity crises."

The author provides recommendations for self-diagnosis, as well as for selecting methods of professional help and self-help. 
The book will be useful to a wide range of readers interested in the topic of psyche and mental health.
