Our consciousness is a subject of debate among the strongest minds of humanity, an area of research in which there is as much interesting as there is little that is definite and definitively proven. Humanity is developing, creating new technologies, but in the area of our thinking, psyche and psychology there are still many blank fragments that are just waiting to be explored. Psychiatry and philosophy of consciousness is an intriguing topic where there are no unambiguous interpretations and not many scientifically proven facts, but perhaps precisely because of this it is so interesting to study the nature of the psyche, our reactions, mental disorders and look for the reasons for their relationship with our consciousness. In this book we will talk about the development and history of psychiatry (and about witches at the stake too), the ideal and non-ideal us (that is, patients), the connection between autism and microconsciousness, the possibilities of neuroscience in application to modern treatment, and we will even be sad with the Japanese about- for the lack of antidepressants... Some of the questions discussed will help you better understand yourself and others, because with up-to-date knowledge, you can evaluate your life and mood much more productively. Understanding the work of your brain and consciousness will greatly simplify your life and improve its quality - the world does not stand still, so we must keep up with it!
