I am mentally ill, authored by: Wafa Shellaby

The author succeeded in conveying a message to the reader through the genius of storytelling, and through daily notes she wrote at home or in one of the cafes or in the clinic or in transportation. She does not insist on giving solutions or psychological guidance or therapeutic sermons, but rather she stimulates the reader's awareness to think and derive very personal solutions for their situation, away from stereotypical societal generalizations. Thank you, Wafa, for these light, gentle, profound tweets that provoke awareness and thinking outside the prevailing rigid scientific text. (Dr. Mohamed Al-Mahdi - Professor of Psychiatry) Since I started working in psychotherapy until now, I see that most mental illnesses relate to problems in relationships; our relationship with family, friends, loved ones, children. Our relationship with God, death, and religion. Our relationship with love, sex, loneliness, and freedom. Most importantly, our relationship with ourselves. The more we develop healthy attitudes towards each of these relationships, the more a person can live with a significant degree of psychological harmony and relative happiness. But if he fails to develop a healthy attitude towards one of these relationships, then mental illness appears, and the need for this book becomes evident. Now you can open the book and start reading about the first relationship. Number of pages: 188
