Seven diagnoses. One whole person.

Each chapter explains one confirmed diagnosis in depth, separates medical information from Staś’s first-person experience, and follows the condition into school, family, work, communication and ordinary life.

Public, but not unguarded

Staś has chosen to name these diagnoses publicly because they affect access and how people understand him. Medication, appointments and other treatment details remain private.
