I was born in 1981 in Korkuteli district of Antalya as the second child of teacher parents. I completed my primary, secondary and high school education in Antalya. after completing Kocaeli University Faculty of Medicine in 2006 and receiving the title of ”Doctor of Medicine", I provided compulsory service as a practical physician at Kocaeli Bay Decembercamtepe Health Center between 2006 and 2008. As a person who has always liked to communicate with people, my interest in psychiatry also started when I was doing my psychiatry internship at the medical school, and I made the decision to become a psychiatrist at that time. I completed my specialty education at Dokuz September University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry in 2013. Since my need, I have participated in numerous studies in the fields of mood disorders (bipolar disorder, recurrent depression, major depression) and obsessive-compulsive disorder and anxiety disorder. I did my specialty thesis on "The Relationship of Brain Trophic Factors with Thyroid Function, Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid in Mood Disorders". After completing compulsory service as a Psychiatric Specialist at Rize Kaçkar State Hospital between 2014 Dec 2015, I worked at Alsancak State Hospital between 2015 Dec 2019 and at the Private Tinaztepe Galen Hospital Psychiatry Clinic between 2019 Dec 2022.
