The human psyche — very fragile and complex mechanism, which is easily affected by a large number of external factors. In the modern realities of a big city, people are increasingly exposed to stress. If a person is not able to fight it, over time he may develop a nervous breakdown with symptoms of neurosis or even depression.
Protracted neurosis negatively affects the general condition, productivity and perception of life in general.
