There are no funny problems. If something is a problem for a person, it's a problem
Branislav Moťovský is the head and chief of psychiatric clinic in Trenčín Faculty Hospital. Psychiatry is a demanding medical field, and the primary says that a person must be interested when he chooses him in school, otherwise neither he nor the patients will be happy.
Psychiatric diseases are like all other diseases, and it is not in place to minimize or ridicule them.
There are no funny problems. If something’s a problem for a person, it’s a problem, and he says. He adds that only in our own problems can we say that they may be ridiculous or irrelevant. What is troubling us may be a petty thing from someone else’s point of view, but it is important to us at the moment.
But if a person comes to me with a problem, I don’t consider one to be trivial, and he explains his attitude. According to him, human psyche is still an unexplored area in many ways.
We ask whether he has the urge to think about the diagnosis of media-known people, such as politicians, when he sees them in often bizarre situations, whether he listens to their inconsistent expressions.
But yes, I can think automatically, it’s my job. Like when the orthopedics think about the problem of a limping person. But when I get there, I try to block it, and he says. There’s no need to connect civilian life to work like this.
He tries to relax by bike, skating or hiking trails. He loves meeting and talking to friends and music. He plays for joy in a rock band at the bass guitar.
