About

Sometimes we easily label someone as "weird" and fail to notice where personality traits end and alarming signals begin. This lecture on mental health will help understand how to avoid self-diagnosis based on social media posts, when to seek professional help, and how to support a loved one. The lecture will be conducted by Dmitry Gorshkov - a psychiatrist and intern at the Psychiatric Clinical Hospital No. 4 named after P. B. Gannushkin. The expert will explain what behavioral changes may indicate illness and which fit within a broad spectrum of normality. Attendees will learn how not to turn any anxious day into a reason for self-diagnosis, while also not ignoring signals when help is truly needed. There will also be a discussion on how to support someone nearby. The specialist will share which words truly help and which reinforce feelings of isolation, how to offer help without pressure or devaluing their experiences. A separate section of the lecture will be dedicated to where to find specialists, what to pay attention to when choosing a clinic or doctor, and what questions to ask during the appointment.
