True mastery is the ability to solve complex problems through methods' simplicity - Niccolò Machiavelli We all live in time, yet no one truly knows what time is. Probably, a fish also does not know what water is. And if you were to pull it out so that it could become aware of water as a phenomenon from the outside, the fish would certainly not have enough life resources to endure it. This compact work is an attempt to measure time through the prolonged, inherent states of human existence - one of which is depression in its various forms.
The connection between depression and the overall time of being has likely led to the conclusion that unites the vast majority of psychologists' works on depression: as an illness, depression is incurable. This book is devoted to the search for optimal behavior when one accepts this fact. The eminent Ukrainian philosopher Hryhorii Skovoroda emphasized that the Creator made everything necessary easy, and everything overly complicated - unnecessary.
This means that an effective key point in dealing with depression must exist. The difficulty lies in finding it. The author proposes to consider depression in a broader format: not as a separate illness, but as an independent phenomenon of the biosphere - one that is counterproductive to "treat" yet entirely possible to localize, thereby reducing its inevitable negative impact on a vulnerable person.
In practice, this is achieved through interaction between such a person and a professional psychologist who also experiences their own depression. This book is devoted to the therapeutic potential of such a psychologist with depression. The author expresses gratitude to the artists who, in his view, subconsciously sensed both the link between depression and the time of the Universe, and its potential for effective work by a practical psychologist - by placing their drawings on publicly available Internet resources.
In doing so, they contributed to the persuasiveness of the arguments presented in the book in favor of the exceptional value of employing psychologists with their own depression.
