What is neurosis, and who are neurotics?
When I came up with my motto — I want life to have "less pain and more beauty". In essence, my entire professional career and even the path to my profession are about this.
At first, I wanted to become an art historian and enrolled in the preparatory department of the Faculty of History at Moscow State University, in the art history department. The classes were in the evenings, and during the day I had to work in a place related to art history. I found a job as a courier in the Museum of the Revolution. The work was at least fascinating, but there wasn't much beauty in it, and it didn't really help reduce pain. Mostly, I delivered documents to different museums and stayed to see the exhibitions.
Six months later, I quit and started working as a nurse in a children's hospital. This was probably the most balanced period of my life. In the morning, I cleaned floors, and in the evening, I attended lectures on art history. Hospital life turned out to be much more attractive, and I made a decision: I left Moscow State University, and I used my nurse's salary to pay for tutors in chemistry and biology. I was lucky. Despite widespread skepticism, I got into the 1st Medical Faculty, where I later completed my residency and postgraduate studies. During my postgraduate studies, I interned at Columbia University (NY, USA) in the Behavioral Medicine Department.
