This website will help you better understand the causes and mechanisms of various mental health disorders. If, for example, you suffer from anxiety, you need to understand why and how anxiety develops in general. Only through learning about the mechanisms of anxiety you will be able to identify how YOU have developed anxiety, what factors in YOUR life have contributed to its onset. Only then you will be able to make specific changes and recover from it. You won't be able to change anything unless you know exactly what needs to be changed. Therefore, the treatment should always start with psychological self-education. Why self-education? Because you need to understand the mechanisms yourself. Psychiatrists and psychotherapists cannot put understanding directly into your mind. They can give you information, guide you, help you by explaining and teaching, but understanding mostly depends on your effort and commitment to learning.
