Good bad feelings. Why evolution allows anxiety, depression and other mental disorders. Randolph N.

Mental disorders are a real scourge for our biological appearance. But why in human life there are so many mental suffering?

In part, the fact is that such emotional states as anxiety, poor mood and sorrow have been preserved and formed during natural selection, because they are useful. True, to a certain limit.

Fear helps us to avoid danger - but at the cost of inevitable false anxieties. Sowing allows you not to spend strength on the pursuit of the unrealizable, but often develops into pathological depression.

Other mental disorders, such as narcotic or alcohol dependence or anorexia, arise due to the inconsistencies between the ancient settings of our body and the modern environment. Sexual disorders are also good evolutionary bases and in the preservation of schizophrenia genes.

relying on indicative cases from his own clinical practice and opening evolutionary biology, Dr. Randolph Nessi not only answers the question of why natural selection formed in humans Such a fragile psyche, but also tries to outline ways to facilitate these suffering, taking into account personal circumstances and individual characteristics.
