Depression
As each science pursues each study from a certain point of view, it quickly became clear that in order to understand man and his environment as part of interacting systems, it had to study this interaction from multiple perspectives, holistically. Examining holistically an illness, such as depression, provides us the right tools to unravel all the aspects that have caused and sustained the illness along with ways to treat it. According to Friedrich Hegel ´´the whole is more t

Madness and Misery
Language has the power to form and shape the way we think and that is the reason why when we hear words like madness, what immediately comes to mind is a chaotic and ´´severe unwieldiness´´ of mind that produces bizarre and ´´out of the ordinary´´ behavior. The same applies for the world misery that can be defined as a state of unhappiness, despair and distress. Both of these meanings are closely correlated to the beliefs of the Greek culture, even though their meanings have

Motivators in your life
Many behaviors that we adopt along the way have negative effects on our bodies and as a result on our lives.

The effects of early day care.
Having a child is a wonderful thing but has its challenges as well. As a parent you want what is best for your child, what would be beneficial to his/her growth, which you don’t really know until it is proven otherwise. As a working mother of a 15 month old baby, I faced the dilemma of whether a day care would be a good choice for my child; is it going to be beneficial for such a young baby and what are the effects.

“Crisis: disaster or opportunity?”
A crisis is any event that is, or expected to lead to, an unstable and dangerous situation affecting an individual or even the whole family. A crisis is a turning point to everyone’s life. One must be resourceful and find new ways to deal with the “disastrous” situation. But is it really only a negative thing? Being in a crisis is a strenuous situation that makes you see only the dark side of things. When, for example, you lose your job, you are concerned about finding a new

What is happiness?
We all search the key to happiness and a sense of well-being that will bring joy and positive emotions to our lives. But what is subjective well-being? Subjective well-being is the evaluation of one’s life in terms of satisfaction. The key though is different for everyone. Some people see money as a source of happiness and a sense of subjective well-being, especially in Western counties like the United States, while others value the eudemonic approach and focus more on the po
