La mezza salute. Che cos’è la salute emotiva e comportamentale

This book presents the theme of ‘Emotional and Behavioral Health’, understood as a new and particular way of observing our health, through the reading grid of the emotional dimension and the behavioral dimension. This vision identifies an area that includes discomfort and mental disorders, addiction pathologies and the wide overlaps between these two areas. It also analyzes the correlations between all these disorders and pathologies and the other fields of our health, such as, for example, cardiology, diabetology, metabolic and immune pathologies, etc. The work also outlines the original concept of \’Immaterial Environment\’ and gives space to the description of psychic metabolism, which the author uses as an explanatory metaphor. Thus conceived, the notion of emotional and behavioral health also goes so far as to evaluate the considerable impact of all these various forms of pathology on couples, families and society as a whole. The author provides data, numbers and statistics that serve to clearly illustrate the influence that all this has on our lives and on our health, although even today we tend to consider only \’the other half\’.
