이제 11월의 마지막 주입니다.

돌아보면 한해가 참 빨리 흘러 갔다는 것을 느끼네요. 영국에서 귀국한 것이 엊그제 같은데....

한해를 보내며, 후회되지 않도록 무언가 하나는 가슴에 뿌듯한 것을 남기고 싶습니다.

남은 한해동안, 열심히 노력한다면, 적어도 영어가 그런 것이 되지 않을까요?

날씨가 쌀쌀해 지는 만큼 여러분들이 함께 하시면 좋겠습니다.

Topic 올라갑니다.

Korea ranks near bottom on antidepressant consumption

Korea has a notorious reputation when it comes to the issue of people taking their own lives -- holding the highest suicide rate among OECD nations.

Just last year, over 13-thousand people took their lives.

However, recent data from the OECD shows that Koreans are reluctant when it comes to the consumption of antidepressants.

At 20 doses a day for every one-thousand people diagnosed with depression, Korea stands as the second-lowest OECD country in terms of antidepressant use, preceded only by Chile. But considering that Chile ranks 20th among 34 nations when it comes to suicide rate -- the situation in Korea is more alarming.

Untreated depression has been cited as one of the main causes of suicide, making early diagnosis and treatment crucial.

However, in Korea, there's a heavy stigma.

"Many Koreans remain cautious in seeking medical help regarding mental health issues and are much reluctant when it comes to taking antidepressants. They tend to have an incorrect view that the drugs have negative effects, such as addiction."

Experts say that, the public's attitude towards treating depression should be changed so that those suffering from it refrain from concealing their problems and can feel comfortable seeking necessary help.
