Abstract
In Turkey, mental health professionals, together with patients and carers, have been involved in the drafting of the Mental Health Bill which is presently under consideration by Parliament. While the Mental Health Law is pending, various pieces of legislation are being used for different types of involuntary admission. The prospective Mental Health Law is of paramount importance for doctors, patients and families.
