Who Is Crazy - Me or the World?

Ultra-modern clinics, medical businesses, therapies guaranteeing well-being - all to meet a new canon: be healthy, joyful, ambitious, actively participating in the socio-economic "theatre" of contemporary life. Because if you're not - you need treatment. In today's world, discomfort arising from functioning in late-modern reality becomes a unit of disease.

The text draws on first diagnostic meetings with psychiatrists, during which a patient's identification with their difficulties is analyzed. The space of intimate conversations with specialists intertwines with the symbolism of contemporary therapies, where patient narratives become elements of a game designed to maximize satisfaction and a sense of belonging. What defines us today as "healthy" or "sick"? Is diagnosis a key to understanding ourselves, or a trap limiting individuality?

A tragifarce about the dictatorship of happiness and success poses the question: is normality even possible in today's reality?
