Regarding the accusations brought against him, Kağan Önal said, “However, Nilgün was supposed to be treated, but she was running away from the doctor. She was not at home when the doctor came to visit her when she should have been. The doctor had waited. When she came, they talked… The doctor said to me, ‘Your job is very difficult! She needs to be treated but she is very intelligent and cultured, meaning it is one of the most difficult cases…’ Because to heal, she should not be engaging in intellectual activities. They were going to drown her with medication and she was going to become numb. In moderately cultured and intelligent cases, this disease would usually appear in their 20s, and lithium treatment for it would result in success. However, Nilgün she was not of this type. Being treated, being convinced of this, being satisfied with the treatment were all separate problems. Therefore, she did not receive treatment. On the day that she died she had promised me that she would start the treatment again .” The book titled Red Brown Notebook, published after Nilgün Marmara’s death, created a great controversy.
