Summary/Abstract: The mental disorder works as a grid that changes the perception of reality, metaphorically this being expressed through an angle of refraction under which time and space, happiness, joy and knowledge, life and death, capability and incapability are seen. Through this article we aim to reveal several clinical situations, the main focus being that of the way in which the fundamental points of reference of our existence change. Later, the article is a perspective, a review of several books considered pillars of this literature, the thread that unites them being the view on modern defense mechanisms (in the behavioral and behaviorist way) to cope with life through maturity, humor, suitability, motivational and flattering techniques. The transition from normality to the pathological and back is sinuous and confusing, life prevailing now and for future.
