'Know Your Mind to Know Yourself'': Psychological Disorders in simple Terms. Volume-1

From the compulsive need to accumulate wealth to the relentless pursuit of pleasure, from the habit of blaming others to the inability to say no-everyone struggles with some form of disordered thinking or behavior. It may not always fit the textbook definition of a "mental illness," but any pattern that distorts our peace, relationships, or self-awareness is, in essence, a psychological disorder.
This book is not just about clinical conditions like depression or schizophrenia. It is about recognizing the subtler, everyday dysfunctions that shape our lives-our addictions to validation, our fears masquerading as anger, our insecurities driving our ambitions. By understanding these tendencies, we take the first step toward true self-mastery.
I have written this book in simple terms because mental health is not just for doctors and therapists-it is for the parent struggling with impatience, the student paralyzed by procrastination, the leader blinded by ego, and the lover trapped in dependency. Awareness is the beginning of change.
