Love Sick: Love as a Mental Illness
Autor Frank Tallisen Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 ian 2005
Obsessive
thoughts,
erratic
mood
swings,
insomnia,
loss
of
appetite,
recurrent
and
persistent
images
and
impulses,
superstitious
or
ritualistic
compulsions,
delusion,
the
inability
to
concentrate—exhibiting
just
five
or
six
of
these
symptoms
is
enough
to
merit
a
diagnosis
of
a
major
depressive
episode.
Yet
we
all
subconsciously
welcome
these
symptoms
when
we
allow
ourselves
to
fall
in
love.
In
Love
Sick,
Dr.
Frank
Tallis,
a
leading
authority
on
obsessive
disorders,
considers
our
experiences
and
expressions
of
love,
and
why
the
combinations
of
pleasure
and
pain,
ecstasy
and
despair,
rapture
and
grief
have
come
to
characterize
what
we
mean
when
we
speak
of
falling
in
love.
Tallis
examines
why
the
agony
associated
with
romantic
love
continues
to
be
such
a
popular
subject
for
poets,
philosophers,
songwriters,
and
scientists,
and
questions
just
how
healthy
our
attitudes
are
and
whether
there
may
in
fact
be
more
sane,
less
tortured
ways
to
love.
A
highly
informative
exploration
of
how,
throughout
time,
principally
in
the
West,
the
symptoms
of
mental
illness
have
been
used
to
describe
the
state
of
being
in
love,
this
book
offers
an
eloquent,
thought-provoking,
and
endlessly
illuminating
look
at
one
of
the
most
important
aspects
of
human
behavior.
