Mental health is a state of psychological and emotional wellbeing in which an individual can cope with ordinary stresses, sustain relationships, and function productively, and it spans both the presence of disorders—such as depression, anxiety, and psychosis—and the broader capacity for resilience and adaptation. It is determined by biological, psychological, and social factors, and it intersects with physical illness, occupational demands, stigma, and access to care. The studies collected here examine mental health across populations and stressors: affiliate stigma, compassion satisfaction, and compassion fatigue among mental health service providers in psychiatric settings; the relationship between religion and mental health; and disparities affecting LGBTQ+ youth. Illness-associated distress is addressed through work on mental health in survivors of colorectal cancer and in breast cancer patients, while population-level stressors appear in studies of mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic and among climate-migrant women in informal urban settlements. Promotion and intervention research includes community-based mentoring and coaching for children, psychoeducation support for partners of veterans, global opinion data for mental health promotion, and the physical and emotional consequences of emotional repression. Methods range from qualitative interviews and cross-sectional surveys to intervention evaluations and critical reviews. This topic assembles peer-reviewed research on mental health determinants, service provision, and promotion across diverse groups.
