Other times we find ourselves professionals, who aspire to have a meteoric career success and resort to different drugs to yield more labor, but in the end, the body passes its destructive and relentless bill.
No less serious is the situation of instability in the behavior of aborted women. Psychiatry has been characterized as the "post-abortion syndrome." O
called "dry drunk syndrome", ie people who had made a point to stop drinking, but as there are medical indications and inside are not entirely persuaded of their determination, they go to other addictions, such as snuff smoking excessively, gamble or go frequently to gambling, fantasy and start businesses outside the Actually, having a long series of affairs. These patients report that never before had this type of behavior until, with help from her doctor, are persuaded that the root of the problem is that his mind kept turning obsessively around alcohol.
Originally, Dr. Ernesto Bolio-renowned psychiatrist, and I thought to write a treatise on this kind of emotional.
But we thought it might be most striking in the present novel form of various characters that show us all their troubles, their physical and moral sufferings, fears, loneliness and uncertainty.
characters are deliberately close to our everyday reality of flesh and bone, which might be an acquaintance of ours, a friend, family member with this disorder and often do not know how to help.
This book shows how it is used in the treatment of psychotherapy, feedback sessions, the key ideas of these diseases, for example, that are binding, they do not respect age, sex or nationality, you have to lifetime and, periodically, we must be going with the specialist and the meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous for the proper maintenance and avoid painful relapses.

This popular TV host is the theme of the novel that is featuring other characters from the Psychiatric: Toño, a young man who was engaged in drug dealing, Marcela, a teenager with apparent problem of lesbianism but claimed that deep affection his parents, Luis, a young man who consumed illicit drugs, and suffered irreversible brain damage, Daniel, a professional who suffered the trauma of the suicide of a brother and a pathologically possessive mother, Elijah, a young man living in lies and deception ( pathological liar), Lucy, who asserted that extremely obese looked in the mirror, but his physique was almost cadaverous, due to anorexia, "Tachito", a teenager who started with the addiction to the internet and video games and eventually became addicted to the "disqualification" Ulises an artist who suffered from hallucinations due to violence Domestic ...
In preparing this paper I interviewed numerous psychiatrists and patients in Spain and Mexico. I collected valuable evidence to present to the public, while respecting their privacy and the dose of literary creation logic to preserve their anonymity.
But this is not a book merely complaint. The approach we have tried to give you is to overcome personal. Because what this novel shows us that inner world of his characters: their struggles, their fall, their mistakes, to see how they get up after his apparent failures and resume, with new vigor, his desire to improve and to avoid making the same errors.
Similarly, the novel "Winners" has helped us to present a modern trend of Psychiatry. Ie not enough merely to recommend psychotherapy or the patient to take certain drugs, but encourage him to aspire to have values \u200b\u200band virtues, to have a sound basis for overcoming their addictions.

Therefore, we have not hesitated to title this novel: "Victors" (1).
