Gizem Kara

My name is Gizem Kara, and I am a 4th-year student in the Psychology Department at Istanbul Nişantaşı University. My interest in psychology is not only academic; it is also fueled by my passion to explore the human mind and behaviors through writing. Writing is not just a form of expression for me but also one of the strongest tools in my search for meaning. Throughout my university life, I have tried to gain knowledge and experience in the fundamental areas of psychology. I have a particular interest in anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia as mental health topics. The readings and practices I have done in these areas also inspire my writings. In my articles, I aim to simplify academic knowledge and present it in an intimate language to readers, contributing even a little to their journey of self-understanding. Making sense of psychological processes encountered in daily life, explaining these processes based on scientific foundations, and increasing mental awareness form the core of my writing vision. In the future, I plan to pursue a master's degree in clinical psychology, aiming to be both a practicing psychologist and a psychology writer who reaches a broader audience through her writings. I see psychology not only as my profession but also as a way of life.
