Özet:

The concept of depression disorders is formed by ontological preconceptions that define the boundaries between individual-social, internal-external, self-affecting, physical-mental, and individual-social. These ontological dicotomies have been directed to the biomedical conceptualization of depression, but they are neither unique to this conceptualization nor independent from each other and from the political, social, cultural, economic background. By moving from feminist criticism, we can claim that these ontological preconceptions are different dimensions of a comprehensive ontological ground created to enable and maintain modern forms of eril thief. The purpose of this article is to make the ontological ground under the understanding of biomedical depression natural to a feminist question. In order to this goal, (1) the depression conceptualization developed by the APA, which is the basis of the bio-medical depression understanding will be introduced; (2) the ontological foundation that is the basis of this conceptualization will be revealed; (3) the dualities based on modern thought and thoroughly studied in feminist literature will be studied; (4) the ontological foundation that is the basis of the concept of depression disorders will be related to the modern eril dicotomies that are the subject of feminist discussion and the functionality of this concept as a modern eril instrument will be discussed.
