To Go Crazy! A Guide to Mental Disorders for City Dwellers

Mental illnesses are much more common than they seem: according to WHO statistics, at least one in four people has suffered from some form of them at least once in their lifetime. At the same time, most people have a poor understanding of how the mind works and why it breaks down. When faced with depression, anxiety disorders, or some other problem, they either deny it or try to solve it in inappropriate ways. How to make sense of strange symptoms and help yourself and your loved ones?
Before you is a new, revised edition of the bestseller by Daria Varlamova and Anton Zaynev. The authors are not unfamiliar with the issue of mental disorders. Both have experienced clinical depression and a lack of adequate information about it. They sifted through a huge amount of scientific publications, spoke with specialists, and ultimately wrote a book that received the “Enlightener” award and has gained great popularity among Russian readers.
In this new edition, the authors added information about recent research and advanced treatment methods for mental illnesses, as well as comments from the scientific editor. They also wrote a separate chapter on obsessive-compulsive disorder. Thus, the book still provides the most relevant knowledge about mental disorders that can help you not lose your mind.
