Overview
Mental health refers to a person's emotional, psychological, and social well-being, encompassing how individuals think, feel, behave, cope with stress, relate to others, and make choices. It influences every stage of life and affects relationships, work, learning, and overall quality of life. Mental health exists on a continuum, and mental health conditions, ranging from anxiety and depression to more severe disorders, can affect people of any age, background, or circumstance. Well-being is shaped by a combination of biological, psychological, social, cultural, and environmental factors, including stress, life events, social support, stigma, and access to care. Promoting mental health and addressing its disorders involves prevention, early identification, evidence-based treatment, and supportive environments. Research published in this journal's network has examined mental health across many dimensions, including the relationship between religion and mental health, the psychological impact of repressing emotion, the mental health of breast cancer patients and cancer survivors, the experiences of climate-displaced women, stigma and well-being among mental health service providers, and disparities affecting LGBTQ+ youth. The breadth of this work reflects the journal's focus on psychotherapy practice and research. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to mental health, its determinants, and its care within the scope of the International Journal of Psychotherapy Practice and Research.
