Is someone who says, "I've had no taste for 5 days, I'm pessimistic, I'm unhappy" really depressed? Of course not. Some of the conditions required for a disease to be mentioned are as follows:
* There must be a clinical picture consisting of a sufficient number of symptoms that lasts for a sufficient period of time (must be continuity: at least 2 weeks for depression) (the presence of at least 5 symptoms together in depression). ,
* There is a difference between the before and after of this process (being a calm person before but becoming angry quickly, being a talkative person and becoming introverted, etc.)
* In more than one area of your life (individual life, Having negativities in social life, marriage, business life, motherhood-paternity-filial duties, student life, religious life, sexual life, etc.),
* Disruption of inner harmony (loss of peace with oneself),
>* Having losses (energy, motivation, mental abilities, productivity, etc.).
This list can be extended.
After all, the idea that "everyone in society is sick" is not objective. The authority to determine whether the mentioned conditions exist or not should be under the control of physicians so that our people are not stigmatized by the incorrect determinations of non-experts!
