Self-care refers to actions and attitudes which are practiced by people to help them contribute to the maintenance of their well-being and personal health. Self-medication is often described as the medical spontaneous use of prescription and Over-TheCounter (OTC) drugs to treat self-recognized disorders, symptoms or minor illnesses without the consultation of a physician either for diagnosis, treatment or monitoring. When people are overwhelmed by stress and life, people will choose to either respond to it in a healthy way (self-care) or in an unhealthy way (self-medication).

During the lecture with Dr Talar Ahmad we will clarify self-care and self-medication as well as we will identify the role of the pharmacist in self-care and self-medication.
