Journalistic concept

The power of thought

The human psyche plays a central role in overall well-being—an influence that continues to grow in an era shaped by stress, societal pressure, and technological change. From the question of free will to intuitive decision-making and the causes and treatment of mental illnesses, the biannual focus Medicine & Health II in «NZZ am Sonntag» and «Le Temps» explores the latest findings in psychology and psychiatry while presenting practical approaches.

Independent expert insights form the foundation of the editorial content. At the same time, companies and organizations are invited to position themselves thematically with guest contributions. These special features, which appear in «Neue Zürcher Zeitung» or «NZZ am Sonntag», are not produced by the editorial team but by our in-house storytelling service: NZZ Content Creation.

Possible topics:

• Free will – reality or illusion: Do we truly control our decisions, or does our brain largely operate unconsciously?
• Gut feeling – decoding the neurological mechanism: How our «gut brain» influences decision-making and emotional well-being—and whether we should actually trust it.
• Depression – The origins of a widespread disease: What current scientific findings reveal about the genetic, hormonal, and societal causes of depression, along with new approaches and promising therapies.
• Mental illness in children and adolescents – From performance pressure to social isolation: Why psychological disorders are increasing among young people and which preventive measures should be taken.
• Mindfulness and resilience – Tools for mental strength: Practical exercises that help reduce acute stress and build long-term mental resilience.
• When the brain declines – Cognitive development over a lifetime: What causes cognitive decline, and which strategies can slow it down or even partially reverse it?
• The power of digital support – Mental health apps, online therapy, and AI-powered tools: How digitalization is improving access to mental health care.
• Nutrition and mental health – Food for thought: How does diet influence mental well-being? An exploration of essential nutrients, supplements, and their role in preventing and treating depression.
• Sleep and mental health – The overlooked factor: Why poor sleep is not just a symptom but often a key cause of psychological problems—and how sleep disorders can be treated.
• The ubiquity of psychology – Blessing or curse? Terms like trigger or gaslighting have become part of everyday language. But is this leading to the pathologization of normal behavior? A plea for a conscious and appropriate use of psychological concepts.
