Seven diagnoses. One whole person.

Each chapter explains one of Staś’s seven confirmed diagnoses, gives the medical facts needed to understand his own presentation, and keeps his first-person experience clearly separate from the clinical information.

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.
