Psychology

Also expressed as spirit science in Turkish, psychology is derived from the combination of “psyche”, which means spirit, and “logia”, which means science/study. Psychology deals with people’s mental health. For an individual to be regarded as a healthy person, his physical and mental health must be tackled as a whole. Accelerating speed of life in the present day and increasing responsibilities of individuals to keep up with this speed and stress are threats to people’s mental health.

Sometimes people may not overcome their problems on their own. Since people experience problems in some areas of their lives or intense feelings and emotions hindering the regular pace of their lives, the number of people receiving psychology assistance increases each passing day.
