In this direction, we explore how the psyche responds to stress, crises, loss and uncertainty - and how it adapts or does not adapt. Focus: depressive and anxiety states, post-traumatic manifestations, chronic stress, professional burnout and borderline functional states between the "norm" and the "clinic".
The goal is to connect psychiatric classifications and real human experience so that people, professionals and systems can act from a position of understanding, not fear.
This field views the brain as an organ of adaptation. We study how chronic stress alters attention, memory, learning, and decision-making; how patterns of anxiety, avoidance, and hypervigilance are formed; and what supports recovery through sleep, therapy, pharmacology, and lifestyle changes.
The goal is to create a neuroscientifically literate culture where “stress,” “burnout,” and “recovery” have not only emotional but also biological contours.
Trauma is a widespread experience in war, violence, and systemic stress. We explore PTSD, continuous trauma, secondary traumatization in the helping professions, and moral injury—the damage to a person’s moral structure under the pressure of unacceptable events or forced decisions.
The goal is to develop ethical, scientifically sound, and pragmatic models of recovery that can be scaled without compromising quality.
We distance ourselves from “biohacking” as a fad and work with the science of longevity: how chronic stress affects aging; how sleep, movement, nutrition, relationships, cognitive load and meaning affect quality of life; how to maintain cognitive longevity without pseudoscience.
The goal is to help understand longevity as the ability to remain present in one’s own life—with clarity, dignity and subjectivity.
Mental health does not exist in a vacuum. We examine how institutions, management decisions, cultures of responsibility, and chronic crises shape the mental health of professional groups and communities.
The goal is to shift the conversation about mental health from the level of a “personal problem” to the level of a shared responsibility of people, institutions, and the state.
This direction is dedicated to meaning, identity and life transitions: who I am during and after a crisis; how not to dissolve in roles; how to maintain quality of life in an unstable world.
The goal is to support human subjectivity and the ability to rethink life without simplifications and toxic positivity.
We explore how AI, biotechnology, climate risks, and information warfare are changing attention, memory, anxiety, loneliness, and our vision of the future. We analyze trends, model scenarios, and formulate ethical questions for the future.
The goal is to prepare individuals and institutions for a world where mental health becomes a key resource for resilience.
