Each of us is a carrier, if not of a unique, but rare experience. Yet a rarity is a relative concept. Here are some facts related to what I experienced ten years ago. According to statistics, anorexia and other eating disorders are becoming more common among adolescents from 10 to 19 years.

When my mom was taken away for the first time in an ambulance, I remember hearing scraps of orderlies coming from the front seat - they were discussing boots and herring bought at a discount, and I didn't understand how to talk about such things when near is a man dying? For doctors, these are working days, but then I repeated myself many times in my life: no one is obliged to know your history, no one is obliged to sympathize, choose words and treat you in a special way.
MY DAYS WERE IN THE ENVIRONMENT OF PEOPLE WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA, bipolar affective disorder and oligophrenia. I am a medical psychologist at the rehabilitation department of a Moscow psychiatric hospital - and this work is perfect for me.

June morning of 2003 Saturday. Seven in the morning. The early sun is shining through the window. I recently woke up and try to brush my teeth.

There are no reliable statistics on people who use drugs in Russia, but according to reports of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, about 70 tons of heroin are consumed annually in our country.
