Mikhail Bazhmin is a second-generation doctor, psychiatrist, PhD in medical sciences. He was born and raised in Samara, where he graduated from Samara State Medical University with a degree in medical science. He worked at the regional psychiatric hospital in the closed women's department and taught students at the Department of Psychiatry and Narcology of the SSMU. Since 2012 lives in Israel, where after passing all exams he completed a full residency program in psychiatry and psychotherapy in the country's largest forensic psychiatry center Shaar Menashe. For the last few years, he has been in charge of the Department of Combined (when one patient has two or more diseases from the same field - for example, schizophrenia and drug addiction) pathology, and in parallel has been working on building a system of home hospitalization (a system of providing medical services at home while maintaining the same intensity of treatment and staffing as in the hospital) throughout the country. He has a passion for oriental arts, collects Japanese antique weapons and holds several black belts in various martial arts. Teaches students and aspiring doctors at Shaar Menashe. Why are serial killers recognized as sane? Where is the line between insanity and normality? And what is the norm anyway? Mikhail Bazhmin, a forensic psychiatrist, will use cases from practice, sometimes tragic, sometimes amusing, to show how the human brain works in bizarre ways, how far we have come from our ancestors and what thin line separates each of us from the dark side of consciousness.
