An open dialogue on mental well-being was held at DSMU

16.04.2026

64

On April 7, the sanitary and Preventive Department of the DSMU Volunteer Center, together with the community of young psychiatrists of the Republic of Dagestan, organized an event called «Open Hearts: Conversations about mental health.» The main part of the program was devoted to creating a safe space where every future doctor could openly discuss their fears. The choice of the topic on mental health was not accidental: the volunteers are convinced that the prevention of burnout is just as important as the study of clinical disciplines. Speakers from the community of young psychiatrists communicated with students in the same language, analyzing complex psychological mechanisms without excessive terminology. Special attention was paid to methods of dealing with stress during the session and the first signs of anxiety disorders. The phrase «Mental health is the foundation without which the work of a doctor is impossible» became the main motto of the discussion. The final stage of the meeting was a lively Q&A session. The students did not let the guests go for a long time, discussing situations and real-life examples, simultaneously destroying established stereotypes about psychiatry. The work of the DSMU Volunteer Center allowed the participants to express real support and realize that they are not alone in their worries. At the end of the event, sincere words of gratitude were expressed to the organizers and experts for their keen interest in student life. The main goal — to prove that self-care is a sign of strength-has been fully achieved. This conversation once again confirmed that the path to an «open heart» of the patient always begins with respect for his own soul.
