The number of psychiatric care beds in hospitals in Turkey has been on a steady decline from 2013 to 2023, decreasing from 5.77 units per hundred thousand persons in 2013 to 4.37 in 2023. This represents a year-on-year percentage decline consistently, with notable reductions such as 8.93% in 2017 and smaller decreases like 0.21% in 2019. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the last five years stood at approximately -1.74% by 2023, indicating an overall downward trend. Future forecasts predict this decline will continue, with the number expected to reach 3.88 by 2028, driven by a forecasted five-year CAGR of -1.9%.

Future trends to watch for:

Government policy changes or health care reforms that could impact psychiatric care infrastructure.
The development of alternative treatment options that may reduce the need for psychiatric hospital beds.
Pressure from an aging population and rising mental health awareness possibly leading to increases in demand.
