I v nemoci si buď přítelem – Honzák Radkin (2021)

Most of us know how to take good care of our loved ones when they face problems or health issues, yet we often struggle to take care of ourselves in such situations. Being a friend to oneself in illness does not mean we should act as our own doctor. However, it requires us to navigate correctly at the moment when we stand at a crossroads, one path leading to illness and the other to health. Illness as a psychological burden presents new challenges and forces a person to adapt to new demands and sometimes very peculiar and unexpected conditions, which we all experience. The author of this popular science publication addresses a number of related questions: What happens to a person when they fall ill? What feelings do they have? How do they cope with their changed state? To their benefit or detriment? How do they behave if the illness becomes chronic? How do they act if the consequences of the illness persist? What impact does illness have on their relationships with those closest to them, and what does it mean for their professional career? "I wish for everyone to feel the positive influence of reliable support during times of crisis, the help of people with whom they have good relationships and to whom they can provide what they need upon returning to health."
