{:en} Recovery in a psychiatric institution often focuses on physical stabilization, but what about the mind? In the midst of medication intake and daily hospital routines, small moments of connection create powerful shifts. Moments like this made me reflect on the importance of psychological well-being in a psychiatric institution. While the primary focus is understandably placed on physical stabilization, the emotional needs of patients are equally significant and can greatly enhance their recovery journey.

{:en} Dear Merve; “Where do you get your inspiration?” Yes, yes, I will finally be explaining this.

Maybe it was the pride of the award… Maybe it was the magic of Pizza Margherita…...

{:en} Is there anything left unsaid about love? It has been compared to many things; it became the subject of poems and songs, caused wars, and was described as both hatred and the highest emotion. Moreover, they killed love and divided it into two. They said; love is different, love is different... Love is exhausting. Love is reassuring... Love is excitement. Love is ongoing... Love is not being able to meet; it is pain. Love is trust... Love is at first sight, but love is over time... My pen combines the two in this article... Love is courage and faith. Needs; not to be divided into two....
