← Back to blogTürkiye Mental Health Profile-2: Prevalence and Treatment Needs
The text presented consists of extensive excerpts from the final report of the Türkiye Mental Health Profile - 2 Study, which aimed to determine the prevalence of mental disorders and treatment needs in Türkiye. The report presents the study's detailed methodology (including sample selection, the CIDI-5 instrument used, pilot studies, and data collection challenges) and main findings. The findings show that disorders other than alcohol and substance use disorders are more prevalent among women and that the prevalence of disorders is high in the younger age group; they also highlight that only a small proportion of those with mental health problems sought services. This study is a large-scale epidemiological study that examines changes in the country's mental health status over time through comparisons with the first profile study conducted twenty years earlier.
