Quick orientation sometimes is helpful. Therefore I have picked some focal points below. For further information please click on the captions - links to subsequent pages.

Topics:

.  Depression
.  Fatigue, lack of energy, restlessness, agitation, despair,
.  feelings of responsibilities overburdering and suicidal thoughts
.  are typical symptoms.
.  Sometimes only somatic evidence is detectable. Sweating,
.  palpitations, lack of sexual interest, sleep disturbances, gaining
.  weight and headache can be depressive symptoms as well.
. 
.  Anxiety
.  Anxiety sometimes is just one more symptom of depression.
.  But more often it is a phenomenon of its own: as phobia,
.  general anxiety disorder, panic disorder or PTSD.
.  One thing is plain to see: anxiety constrains one's life and
.  intensivies with time passing by.
. 
.  Relationship problems & crises
.  Anger, hatred, endless arguing, loss, violence and separation
.  belong to the most straining events in people's lifes.
.  The stories told in the wake of such events often deepen the
.  trauma (stories of shipwreck, of severe injury and destruction).
.  Don't let it get your SOLELY told story...
. 
.  Alcohol abuse
.  Alkohol is stimulant, moodlifter, pacifier, problem solver, creator
.  of addiction, highly potent cell toxin and therefore cause of
.  countless diseases. And last but not least it destroys relationships.
.  Don't let it get that far...
. 
.  Illicit drug abuse
.  Illicit drugs are different: differently dangerous, differently effective.
.  Used as shortcuts to intensive emotions and as experience
.  enhancers in the beginning they creep into the brain and slowly
.  establish their own circle of addiction and deterioration.
. 
.  Eating disorders
.  Three different forms of eating disorder can be distinguished:
.  . Anorexia nervosa
.  . Bulimia nervosa
.  . Binge eating disorder
.  Eating disorders are - statistically - as dangerous as
.  illicit drug abuse. Slow deterioration und even death are possible
.  consequences.
. 
.  Psychosis
.  Feelings of being under surveillance, influenced and manipulated,
.  hearing voices, anxiety, disturbed thoughts, emotional and social
.  withdrawal, ideas of responsibility for good and evil, for the world
.  itself or even the universe - typical symptoms of schizophrenic
.  psychosis. Early recognition and therapy mean quicker
.  improvement, better prognosis and a greater chance to find the
.  way back to normal life.
