“WE ATTACH GREAT IMPORTANCE TO HUMAN RELATIONS”
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Canan Tanıdır, a faculty member at Istanbul Gelisim University, Department of Psychology, defining burnout syndrome as people's being tired and stressed and not performing their daily functions as much as before, said: “According to a survey carried out in Belgium it appears to be less of burnout in Turkey. The reason for this is that it is lived as a big family in our country. We live with a large family such as grandmother, grandfather, father, uncles and aunts. In addition, family apartment culture is quite common in our country. Having relatives sitting close to each other and being intertwined provides a social support system for the mother and father. We are a country that attaches great importance to human relations. We also love to live in neighborly relations and friendships. When our people have a problem, they share a coffee with a neighbor and a friend. This troubling greatly prevents the person from falling into depression.” dedi.
