In modern realities, a common problem, along with such phenomena as depression, stress, is the problem of co-dependent behavior. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that a clear idea of codependency has not been formed in the ordinary consciousness of people. If in a situation with depression a person can clearly understand his problem and the need to get professional help in solving it, then codependency may not be perceived and identified as a problem that needs to be addressed.
