Ruh Sağlığına Yakından Bakmak (A Closer Look at Mental Health)
Year: 2026
Type: book
Abstract: A bilingual (Turkish and English) series of forty-five psychoeducational booklets on mental health, written for the general reader rather than for clinicians. Each booklet covers one condition or theme across fourteen categories, including anxiety, mood, obsessive-compulsive, trauma, personality, eating, addiction, neurodevelopmental, psychotic, somatic, sexual and sleep presentations, alongside general guidance. Every booklet states its sources; clinical claims are drawn from published guidance and are not offered as diagnosis or treatment. These are psychoeducational texts: they do not diagnose, do not prescribe treatment, and do not replace clinical assessment. Written by a practising clinical psychologist. Changes in v1.1.1 (20 August 2026). Clinical safety corrections following an independent review. The booklet count, scope, categories and source lists are unchanged: 45 booklets, Turkish and English. Corrections: symptoms of psychosis are now routed to psychiatric and medical assessment rather than counselling, and the definition of delusion was aligned across both languages; the emergency booklet no longer describes voices as “not real” and follows safe-messaging wording; shared decision making and regular medication review with the prescribing physician were restored to the English treatment section; the prohibition on managing thoughts of self-harm with a general purpose AI system was returned to absolute wording; the somatic-symptom booklet again states that a new, sudden or severe physical symptom needs medical evaluation first; the emotional-sensitivity booklet no longer cites ICD-10 subtypes under an ICD-11 source and restores the statement that single traits do not add up to a diagnosis; reduced sensory sensitivity was restored to the autism booklet.
