Engy Ashraf

My name is Engy. I’m a nineteen-year-old Alexandrian. I graduated last year from the German School in Alexandria and enrolled in Alsun Faculty in Ain Shams, Cairo. Writing has been a passion of mine for years now. I enjoy making up short stories the most. I love reading, with socially critical novels on top of the list. Other hobbies of mine would be calligraphic drawing and hiking. As for the topic I’ve chosen; well, I think everyone should know that mental health is by no means less important than physical health. It’s both of them that make up the well-being of a person. I firmly believe that every person deserves to be cared about and offered help when needed. It’s really depressing, that ongoing stigma of mental health in the country. We may criticize the country’s health institutions as much as we wish, but if there’s any hope in changing that perception of mental disorders, it’s first and foremost in the individuals.
