Overview

Mental illness prevention refers to strategies and interventions designed to reduce the likelihood that mental health disorders develop, or to lessen their severity, before they become established. It encompasses promoting psychological wellbeing, identifying and addressing risk factors such as chronic stress and social adversity, strengthening protective factors, and intervening early when warning signs appear. As a branch of preventive medicine and public health, it complements treatment by focusing on the conditions and behaviours that influence mental health across populations. Within the journal's preventive-medicine scope, research has examined approaches to mental-health promotion, including a study on mental health promotion through the collection of global opinion data, which explores how population-level information can inform efforts to support psychological wellbeing. Such work reflects the preventive emphasis on understanding and improving the broader determinants of mental health rather than treating illness alone. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to mental illness prevention, supporting public-health practitioners, clinicians, and students interested in promoting mental wellbeing, reducing risk, and delivering early, preventive care.
