I think we all agree that the soul and body are an inseparable duo. Because when we think about it, we realize that our brain is a part of our body. When we consider the fact that consciousness, personal awareness, emotions and thoughts are products of our brain, we can easily grasp the spiritual and physical connection. Therefore, it is impossible to ignore physical health when talking about mental health. The direct impact of people's eating habits on their emotional states can be considered as simple proof that the body and soul are inseparable from each other. For example, it is a proven fact, as a result of many studies, that finishing a huge box of ice cream in one sitting causes emotional collapse and depressive mood due to excessive sugar intake. As can be seen from here, even a simple eating and drinking situation can directly affect our spiritual integrity. Then we can say that many physical conditions such as sleep, physical addictions, extreme fatigue can directly or indirectly affect our psychology.

Acute in America According to a comprehensive study conducted by the Cardiovascular Health Association in 2013, it was observed that receiving psychotherapy significantly reduced the death rate in patients who had a heart attack and were hospitalized. According to reports, it has been determined that after psychotherapy given by a psychologist to hospitalized patients, the rates of patients having another crisis, being re-hospitalized after discharge, and death are very low. As can be understood from here, heart health and problems are not only a physical condition, but also a case based on psychological factors. According to cardiologists, psychological factors play a major role in experiencing heart attacks or heart problems. These factors not only affect a person's risk of having a heart attack, but they also have a great impact on the rate of recovery and risk of having another heart attack. Considering all these facts, cardiovascular problems are not only a physical disorder but also a health problem that is due to psychological factors to a considerable extent. There are also many scientific studies showing that problems cause high blood pressure and heart attacks. Accordingly, effective psychotherapy from an expert psychologist can prevent these disorders and even deaths.
Don't be afraid of psychotherapy
Unfortunately, there are still prejudices about receiving psychological support in our country. While it is considered normal for a person to see a doctor for a physical illness, going to a specialist for mental health problems may be viewed negatively. Although the fact that mental health and physical health are inseparable has been proven many times, why do our people still have a fear of psychotherapy? Because asking for help is perceived as a sign of weakness or helplessness. It is thought that only incompetent people need help solving their problems. All of these are wrong and unhealthy judgments. When a person feels spiritually relaxed and at peace, he or she will see how relaxed he or she will be physically. Unsolved problems grow like an avalanche and engulf the person. It is known that many types of cancer, ranging from the weakening of the immune system, are the result of internal dilemmas in people.
