Significado
To make someone lose their focus
Contexto cultural
This idiom is a staple in Turkish pop lyrics. Tarkan, Sezen Aksu, and Serdar Ortaç frequently use it to describe the overwhelming power of love. In romantic scenes, the male lead often says this to the female lead to indicate he is completely smitten. Historically, the 'mind' was seen as an obstacle to true love. Losing one's mind (aklı gitmek) was seen as reaching a higher state of emotional truth. If you cook a very good meal for a Turkish guest, they might say this to compliment your skills.
Use with 'Resmen'
Adding 'resmen' (literally/officially) before the idiom makes you sound like a native speaker. 'Resmen aklımı başımdan aldı!'
Don't use for 'Crazy'
If you want to say someone is insane, use 'deli'. This idiom is only for temporary loss of focus.

Probably not. It's too emotional. Use 'Çok etkilendim' instead.
'Aklımı aldı' is shorter and more casual. 'Aklımı başımdan aldı' is the full, more emphatic version.
