The return of people to public places like Chitgar Lake is not just about leisure—it is deeply connected to mental health and emotional recovery.
During conflict, people experience:
- stress and anxiety
- uncertainty about safety
- social isolation
- disruption of daily routines
Public spaces help restore:
- a sense of normalcy
- social interaction
- emotional balance
Walking by the water, breathing fresh air, and seeing others enjoying life again creates a powerful psychological effect.
