En el laberinto

It is estimated that almost one billion people in the world are affected by some mental disorder: anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress, eating disorders or addictive behaviors, among others. This broad diagnostic spectrum is born from the confluence of biological, psychological and social factors, and is gaining more presence and visibility in our communities. Fortunately, awareness and prevention have also increased. Understanding it entails a journey of discovery towards the foundations and architecture of current psychiatry, which is finally freeing itself from ancient taboos and stigmas. This illustrated guide stands as a useful tool to achieve a greater understanding of the human psyche and a more empathetic view towards all those people affected by a psychiatric disorder and their environment. A unique and enjoyable work designed to accompany any reader through the winding paths of this labyrinth and give them the knowledge to ask for help when they sense that something is not right. All of this written with the most scrupulous respect for patients and professionals.
