Was erfüllt mich mit Zufriedenheit? Wenn ich mir diese Frage stelle, schießen mir gleich mehrere Antworten in den Kopf: meine Arbeit (zumindest oft), mit meinem Hund spazieren gehen, meine Freunde treffen, reisen und in neue Kulturen eintauchen. Auf manches davon muss ich so wie Sie momentan verzichten. Ob sich das auf meine Stimmung auswirkt? Fragen Sie das am besten mein Umfeld.

Fachleute sprechen von Bindungsangst. Laut Bindungstheorie entsteht sie meist in der frühen Kindheit, wenn die Eltern wenig emotionalen Rückhalt geben.

Das Konzept geht zurück auf die US-Psychologin Mary Ainsworth. Ende der 1960er Jahre entwickelte sie dazu einen standardisierten Verhaltenstest. E...

Depression is one of the most common mental health disorders, affecting 14% of all people at some point in their lifetime.
