Books
read, think, change
A collection of thirty allegorical short stories by the psychiatrist – psychotherapist Dimitris Papadimitriadis, moving between the existential and the social, the tender and the sarcastic.
Stories-cracks on the surface of everyday life, where man clashes with himself, the systems that entrench him and the illusions he invents in order to endure.
Each text functions as a psychic microscope and at the same time as a mirror of the collective absurdity. Here, the obvious is undermined, cynicism smiles ironically and error takes on voice, shape and – inevitably – face.

Fear is a normal, spontaneous emotion. It accompanies the perception of an immediate threat in the “here and now” or in the near future. Stimulates self-protective behavioural responses. But when it is produced persistently, when the intensity is disproportionate to the actual circumstances, then it becomes a phobia and an obstacle in our everyday life.
Anxiety is a more complex emotional state. It expresses an established internal anxiety, even when there is no specific threat in the “here and now”. But it brings physical discomfort, mental hyperalgesia and has mechanisms in common with fear and phobias.
In this era of rapid change, technological and scientific leaps and bounds, this Short Introduction to Stress is extremely timely: It helps us with examples to understand what it is and how it is created, but also to know more about how panic attacks, agoraphobia, social and generalized anxiety, hypochondria and fear of death, obsessions, compulsions and post-traumatic stress are treated psychotherapeutically.
Anyone who has struggled with depression knows all too well the ways in which their mind can overwhelm their life and daily routine. But it is not certain that he knows how incomprehensible this experience can be to the people around him and, therefore, how difficult it is to express his struggle and experience to others.
It is a “gap of understanding in the mind”, which is to be expected, which is explained in a comprehensive guide to depression by psychiatrist Dimitris Papadimitriadis. What are its sources? How does it appear? But most importantly: What are the appropriate ways to treat it? The pathways from major depressive disorder to seasonal affective disorder and from bipolarity to bereavement and postpartum depression are also explained.
Depression does not have one face, but many. We need to understand, each time, the possible causes. To choose the ways of dealing with it (psychotherapeutic, pharmaceutical, through exercise, artistic creation or even dietary changes). With the aim, as a rule, to make the social and interpersonal stigma associated with this mental disorder disappear completely and for people to fill the void with tenderness, understanding and solidarity.
