Alcoholism (alcohol use disorder) is a chronic mental health condition in which drinking beyond socially accepted levels impairs physical, psychological, and social functioning. It results from a loss of the brain's control over drinking, not from a lack of willpower. Recovery may be possible with professional treatment, so please do not hesitate to ask for help.2026-06-26

Burnout (exhaustion) is not simply a matter of fatigue or lack of willpower. It is a state in which accumulated chronic stress is thought to reduce the brain's ability to regulate itself. Rather than simply 'enduring' it, management aimed at helping the brain recover is needed. It is important to recognize the early signs of burnout and find your own ways to manage stress.2026-06-26

Kidney Transplant Process
#kidney transplantation, #kidney transplant, #living-donor kidney transplantation, #deceased-donor kidney transplantation, #immunosuppressants, #rejection, #end-stage kidney failure, #KONOS, #organ transplantation, #double vision, #overlapping images
Kidney transplantation is a surgery that transplants a healthy kidney into the body to replace a kidney that has lost its function. Unlike dialysis, it can restore most of the kidney's various functions (removing waste products, regulating electrolytes, secreting hormones that stimulate blood cell production, and others), which makes it one of the main treatment options for end-stage kidney failure. Whether and how to have a transplant depends on each patient's health condition, so please be sure to decide through consultation with a medical specialist.2026-06-26

Schizophrenia is a major mental illness in which the ability to distinguish reality from one's own thoughts and perceptions is impaired. In Korean, the disorder was previously called jeongsinbunyeolbyeong (literally, "split-mind disease") but was renamed johyeonbyeong in 2011; the new term means "tuning the strings," reflecting the idea that mental confusion arises when the brain's neural signaling is not properly tuned. With appropriate treatment and management, people with schizophrenia can maintain daily functioning.2026-06-26
