Seelische Störungen heute

In the Federal Republic alone, about 6.6 million people suffer from severe anxiety disorders, 5.7 million struggle with depression, approximately 2.5 million are addicted to alcohol, and 1.5 million are dependent on medication. Nevertheless, the symptoms of even the most common mental disorders and illnesses remain largely unknown, and mental disorders are often tabooed and concealed. This book explains the key signs, effects, and treatment options for the most prevalent mental disorders today (e.g., anxiety, burnout, depression, mania). It not only facilitates timely recognition and action when a mental disorder arises but also fosters understanding of the topic of "mental illness," which is burdened with so many prejudices.
