I experienced severe depression and despite the social stigma against mental illness, I talk about it. I know, what is life between hospitals, therapies, psychiatrists, strong drugs and outpatient mental clinic.

I know, how strong a human psychic can be. I know, what is hopelessness. I know, what is the fear of being cured, when the distorted mind after 18 months doesn't remember how it used to be before and considers this as normal.

It's my personal confession and a journey I undertook, which maybe will inspire you and it might nudge you to look at life and work problems from a different perspective.
