Turkey Mental Health Market Trends:

Digital Transformation in Mental Healthcare

The market is undergoing a significant shift due to the growing adoption of digital tools and telehealth platforms. Telepsychiatry and mental health mobile apps have gained widespread popularity, especially COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the demand for remote and flexible healthcare. These technologies are facilitating greater accessibility for people living in remote or underserved areas where mental health services have historically been scarce. Aside from video consultations and online therapy websites, AI-based mental health software is rising to help with initial evaluations, mood monitoring, and tailored intervention techniques. According to an industry report, at the beginning of 2025, Turkey had 77.3 million internet users, with an internet penetration rate of 88.3%. The rising digital literacy among Turkey's younger population and widespread smartphone penetration are further supporting this transformation. Moreover, healthcare institutions and startups are increasingly collaborating to develop localized solutions that are culturally appropriate and compliant with national health regulations. The Turkish Ministry of Health's openness to integrating digital services within the broader healthcare ecosystem is expected to further encourage the scalability and institutional adoption of these innovations.

Growing Youth-Centric Mental Health Awareness

There is a significant rise in mental well-being consciousness among Turkey's youth, which is shaping the need for specialized psychological care services. Social change, academic pressure, economic instability, and excessive exposure to digital technology are driving forces behind the increasing rate of anxiety, depression, and behavioral disorders among this age group. As per an industry report, in 2024, nearly 38% of Turkey's population suffered from mental health problems. Among 16 nations surveyed, Turkey ranked second, after the United States. In response, the public and private sectors are launching mental health literacy campaigns with schools and universities in their sights, with the intent of de-stigmatizing mental illness and promoting early intervention. Furthermore, schools are starting to add on-campus counseling services and peer-support programs, indicating a more preventive strategy in the management of youth mental illness. Social media and influencers have also helped normalize dialogue on mental health among teenagers and young adults. Concurrently, training programs for youth-focused mental health professionals are being increased, with a special focus on culturally responsive care. This is transforming a consumer base that is more educated, active, and open to seeking professional assistance when necessary.

Integration of Mental Health into Primary Care

Turkey is witnessing increased integration of mental health services into its primary healthcare system, driven by the government's strategic goal of improving accessibility and early intervention. This, in turn, is contributing to the Turkey mental health market growth. Moreover, this strategy allows for family doctors and general practitioners to perform initial mental health screening and offer basic therapeutic advice, thereby managing mild to moderate cases without direct specialist referral. By integrating mental health care into regular check-ups, the system avoids stigma and promotes a more integrated approach to patient care. In addition to this, primary care provider training programs incorporate mental health modules to strengthen diagnostic proficiency and referral effectiveness. This integration makes a significant difference in rural and semi-urban regions, where psychiatric services are limited. Moreover, the national health insurance system is being streamlined to cover mental health consultations under the primary care setting, making such care more affordable financially. The model also accommodates ongoing monitoring and follow-up of patients, with those having chronic mental health illnesses provided with prolonged and coordinated care.
