Overview

Mental health is a state of emotional, psychological, and social well-being that affects how people think, feel, behave, and cope with stress, relationships, and the demands of daily life. It is a core component of overall health and exists on a continuum, ranging from positive well-being to diagnosable mental health conditions that arise from interacting genetic, biological, psychological, social, and environmental factors. As a public health concern, mental health matters because conditions such as depression, anxiety, and suicidality carry substantial individual and societal burden, and because prevention, early identification, and equitable access to care can meaningfully improve outcomes. Research published under this topic addresses mental health across diverse populations and settings, including disparities affecting LGBTQ+ youth, depression among South Asian female college students, and the psychological burden linked to chronic illnesses such as endometriosis and colorectal cancer. Other studies examine suicide prevention and treatment approaches, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, stigma, compassion fatigue, and satisfaction among mental health service providers, and the well-being of vulnerable groups such as climate migrant women and social workers. Together the articles reflect attention to social determinants, occupational and demographic influences, the relationship between religion and mental health, and culturally grounded strategies for promoting psychological well-being.
