Common disorders

Until you have the word, you know neither what to look for, nor what to ask, nor whom to ask. These guides are for that.

Where to start

You do not know which guide to open

That is the most common case. Four paths lead somewhere other than a list.

How a guide is built

Four steps, always in the same order

All the guides look alike: the information is always in the same place.

  1. What it is

    The difficulty named in everyday words, and what sets it apart from an ordinary bad patch. The guide describes; it concludes nothing about you.

  2. What you may feel

    What people describe: in the body, in the head, in relationships.

  3. What you can do

    Two to four concrete leads, workable without money and without an appointment. Things to try, not instructions to follow.

  4. When to talk about it to a professional

    Clear markers — how long it has been going on, how much it weighs on your days — and the link to the directory for your country.

Apart from a conversation

What the context changes

The same difficulty is not lived the same way everywhere

What you feel does not change from one country to another. What changes is what you can say about it, to whom, and what it costs to say it.

  • The family

    What happens to one is everyone's business. A strength — you are never alone — and sometimes a weight.

  • What others will think

    Many say nothing, less out of shame than out of calculation: a misplaced word follows you for a long time. One person you trust is enough to start.

  • Religious and customary recourse

    Prayer, the marabout, the elder of the family, the traditional healer: these recourses count, and we ask no one to give them up. They can be followed alongside support, not in its place.

  • Distance

    The time difference, the money you send, what you do not tell so as not to worry anyone. Several guides start from there.
