{:en} The prevalence of obesity in children and adolescents is increasing worldwide. The main factors causing this increase are restricting children's mobility and changing eating habits and food preferences with developing technology. Body mass index, a simple, applicable, cheap, and safe method, is used to diagnose obesity in children.

Today, I want to explore how psychological support can complement the physical recovery process and why it deserves attention in this context. During my internship, I had the opportunity to observe what recovery looks like from...

I had in my hands the “Historical Encyclopedia of Mythology,” a promotional giveaway from Güneş newspaper — one of the more well-known dailies of the time.

Walking home with that encyclopedia in my hands, I felt like a mere mortal who had...
