You are not your diagnosis.
I am Florina Lungu, a psychiatrist. For twelve years I have sat across from people who came in carrying a label. I write about what I see in the room… the body that breaks first, the mind that follows, and a system that often treats it backwards.
The questions people type at 2 a.m.
Someone types one of these into a search bar every night, usually alone, usually after everyone else has gone to bed. I answer one each week, the way I would across the desk. No promises, no shortcuts, and the work stays yours.
The foundation was crumbling and everyone kept painting the walls.
Most of what I know did not come from textbooks.
It came from sitting with people, year after year, and noticing when the story and the body did not match. A woman labelled depressive, her iron nearly empty, her vitamin D at the floor, on her fourth antidepressant and still sinking. I write so that fewer people have to find this out by accident.

The person behind the diagnosis
A book about what I have seen in the room, and what the system keeps missing. In progress, written between patients. Be the first to read it.

I am building toward a place in the Copenhagen area where the whole person is examined before any label is considered. Blood work, sleep, history, trauma. The foundation first. Waitlist only, for now.
