Psychiatrist's Bird Photos Inspire Patients
7 Feb
Summary
- Bird and nature photos offer hope and inspiration to patients.
- Exhibition raises awareness for mental health of security forces.
- Herzog Medical Center hosts art to support PTSD treatment.
Dr. Kobi Cherness, a psychiatrist with a passion for birdwatching, has curated an exhibition of 74 photographs at Jerusalem's Herzog Medical Center. Launched on January 25, the display features images of birds, sunrises, flowers, and landscapes, intended to provide a calming and inspirational space for psychiatric and elderly patients.
The exhibition is particularly relevant to the Migdalor Clinic, which specializes in treating PTSD among security forces personnel. Cherness, who visits the clinic weekly, emphasized that the exhibition's primary goal is to raise awareness about mental health issues and the significant toll on veterans and their families.
This artistic endeavor aims to spotlight the Migdalor Clinic as a vital resource offering dedicated care and support. Cherness described the treatment of patients dealing with complex emotional and psychological challenges as a sacred duty, with the exhibition representing a modest contribution to this cause.
