Psychiatrist Dr. Onur Okan Demirci from Istanbul Gelisim University told DHA why people have been interested in epidemic films, books and articles recently. Psychiatrist Dr. Demirci mentioned that there is a considerable increase in watching movies in which post-apocalyptic scripts are processed as well as epidemic films when looking at internet data, and added: “We reduce the anxiety of the pandemic situation we experience in real life by watching movies on pandemic. In this process, watching such movies increases our sense of security and reduces our sense of fear. Such processes can turn into a situation where both manufacturers of this industry and consumers like us can benefit mutually. In the fight against these kinds of crises, the film industry can benefit us in managing our anxiety and fears.”
