From the Editor | Volume 1, Issue 2
We are pleased to present the second issue of the Journal of Consultation Liaison Psychiatry, featuring contributions that address questions located at the very core of clinical practice, encourage interdisciplinary thinking, and offer concrete insights into contemporary clinical debates.
The articles included in this issue reflect the fundamental spirit of consultation-liaison psychiatry, exploring the interaction between body and mind, the interface of psychiatric symptoms with medical conditions, and the complex patterns that emerge in clinical decision-making processes.
The issue opens with an original case-based report examining the reduction of nicotine craving and use associated with semaglutide, bringing forward a noteworthy clinical observation at the intersection of psychopharmacology and addiction medicine. A case of morphea (localized scleroderma) offers a rare yet instructive clinical perspective at the crossroads of dermatology and psychiatry.
A study investigating coronavirus-related anxiety, general anxiety, and depressive symptoms in pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic sheds light on the enduring mental health impact of large-scale societal crises. The cross-sectional study on psychiatric symptoms in Parkinson’s disease provides valuable data supporting the critical interaction between neurology and psychiatry.
The interview section, titled “The History of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry in Türkiye,” constitutes an important contribution to oral history by documenting the development, institutionalization, and clinical evolution of the field within the country.
With this second issue, our aim is not merely to disseminate knowledge, but to continue building an academic platform that strengthens clinical intuition, stimulates critical reflection, and bridges disciplines. We extend our sincere gratitude to all contributing authors, reviewers, and readers.
We remain committed to producing and sharing knowledge in this field where science meets clinical practice and psychiatry intersects with the broader landscape of medicine.
