From the compulsive need to accumulate wealth to the relentless pursuit of pleasure, from the habit of blaming others to the inability to say no—everyone struggles with some form of disordered thinking or behavior. It may not always fit the textbook definition of a "mental illness," but any pattern that distorts our peace, relationships, or self-awareness is, in essence, a psychological disorder.
This book is not just about clinical conditions like depression or schizophrenia. It is about recognizing the subtler, everyday dysfunctions that shape our lives—our addictions to validation, our fears masquerading as anger, our insecurities driving our ambitions. By understanding these tendencies, we take the first step toward true self-mastery.
I have written this book in simple terms because mental health is not just for doctors and therapists—it is for the parent struggling with impatience, the student paralyzed by procrastination, the leader blinded by ego, and the lover trapped in dependency. Awareness is the beginning of change.
