Our mental well-being matters—it affects our physical health, our ability to care for ourselves, our professional success, and overall life satisfaction. Yet, in Ukraine, discussing mental health is often stigmatized, seeking help is daunting, and finding the right specialist can be costly and confusing.
In Being Okay: What You Need to Know About Mental Health, you’ll find not only essential information backed by medical guidelines but also a framework for understanding mental wellness in the Ukrainian context.
The first section covers general insights into mental states, their connection to physical health, and how our brains and emotions function. The second part delves into common mental disorders. The book concludes with an exploration of historical trauma and its impact on collective psychological health.
