It is not possible to say that the mentioned picture is very different in our country. It can easily be said that the most important reason why the patient avoids consulting a physician is the 'Feeling of Privacy'. A significant portion of the patients who are caught up in the mentioned emotion act according to the methods they hear from their friends and especially the news and guidance they see on social media recently, in solving their problems.

The contribution of media and especially social media to accessing information is an indisputable fact.
