<p>​<span style="text-align: justify;">Esen Ayşe Dural, a faculty member at Istanbul Aydın University (IAU) Faculty of Medicine, said that the first reason for depression is the fear of losing someone close to you. &quot;After the person loses what s/he is addicted to or is in the process of fear of losing, the feeling of hunger to the other party pushes him/her to use antidepressants. What is missing might be your spouse, an animal or even a flower, but the first degree of depression is due to loss of the partner.</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="text-align: justify;">Another reason for depression is fears.</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="text-align: justify;">People have more than 40 fears.</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="text-align: justify;">These lead to taking antidepressants.</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="text-align: justify;">There are many fears such as starvation, lack of money, shame, and loneliness.&quot;</span></p><p><strong>&quot;Our people are not able to overcome some obstacles&quot;</strong></p><p>Expressing that loneliness is a very deep subject in Turkey, Prof Dr. Esen Ayşe Dural said &quot;Some young people want to live alone. This is not a problem, but when an old person is left alone, the people around the person start to feel sorry for him/her. That&#39;s why people make all kinds of sacrifices in order not to be alone. Fear of losing in us is very deep. These are combined and lead people to use antidepressants. Today, economic problems increase the use of antidepressants. People think they can take antidepressants and sleep more easily and take shelter behind antidepressants. There are serious pressures especially on women in our country. pressure on women who have reached a certain age and have not got married is very heavy. These reasons lead people to use antidepressants. In fact, if they improve themselves and sort the events, they will see that there is no need for medicine. People need to communicate with psychologists and this situation should be more popular in Turkey. People who are left alone have no one to communicate. They are afraid of gossip and do not trust anyone. There is a serious trauma about it in the country. Our people are not able to overcome some obstacles. Trainings are required to overcome these situations. </p><p><strong>&quot;We are about to take the medications from grocery store&quot;</strong></p><p>Stating that patients are able to get medications whenever they want, Prof. Dr. Dural said &quot;antidepressants can be purchased at pharmacy when the patient wishes. It is not right for any medication to be purchased by the patient without a prescription, but we are not able to provide this condition. We are about to take the medications from grocery store. No medication should be allowed to taken without a prescription, even if it is a painkiller, because the difference between a medicine and poison is its dose. If you drink more than 3 liters of water, your electronic balance changes in the blood and you start to see hallucinations. If you take more salt, your blood pressure will increase, and the risk of diabetes increases when sugar is taken too much. In other words, everything we take as innocent can be poison as well as it can be used as a drug when substances that are accepted as poison are given in certain doses.&quot;</p><p><strong>Do doctors write antidepressants to anyone who wants?jjj</strong></p><p>Prof. Dr. Esen Ayşe Dural said the following things about the popular polemic, &quot;Doctors write antidepressants to anyone who wants&quot;: doctors do not write antidepressants to everyone, they only write to those who need it. If the doctors working in a hospital with insurance spend three minutes for the patient, if the patient is not able to tell his/her all problems within this period of time and insists on taking the antidepressant, s/he probably knows what to feel to get that medicine. On top of that, s/he can tell the complaints and make the doctor write that specific medicine. Physicians do not write antidepressants to everyone who wants. s/he should not write anyway.&quot; She specified that there are huge mistakes in medicine usage: &quot;There are too many mistakes in drug usage and drugs are used randomly. People buy the drugs of people with the same disease and start using the same drugs themselves. However, since the bacteria in everyone are different, the drug that affects another may not show the same effect in a different one. Conditions can reach this level in the use of over-the-counter medication. The level of the drug in the blood is important. The reason for taking it periodically is to ensure the level in the blood. There is also a problem in the application of drug use hours in patients. Patients are unconscious about this. Physicians do not know their patients.&quot; She highlighted the importance of the antidepressant quitting process, &quot;Some patients who use antidepressants stop taking the drug suddenly when their lives are on their way. You cannot stop taking antidepressant at once. unfortunately, patients do not know how to use or quit. Doctors are also puzzled about this. They are exposed to violence when they do not write the medication that the patient wants. Terrorism in health leaves the physician in a difficult situation in writing medicines.</p><p><strong>Homeopathy:</strong><strong> </strong><strong>The doctor takes care of his patient for 3 hours</strong></p><p>Stating that everything is about interest in alternative medicine, Prof. Dr. Dural said &quot;I worked in homeopathy. A patient need to be dealt with for at least three hours in homeopathy. For three hours, we have to listen to her/his past, her/his experiences, everything, even her/his relatives. It is necessary to talk to the patient, get to know him/her very well and be very busy with the patient. When a person knows someone who is busy with him/her, s/he heals and there is no need for antidepressants. Drugs such as antidepressants are a medicine that people use when they cannot find anyone to establish dialogue and understand themselves. If you meet people who interpret events in a reasonable way, you will understand that the disaster that happened to you is not a disaster but an experience. People are also surprised when there are people around you who show extreme reactions to events and approach you with a &#39;poor man&#39; approach. That&#39;s why antidepressants are becoming widespread&quot;.&#160;</p>
