This work has shown that language, long considered a window into the human mind, can now be quantitatively harnessed as data with powerful computer-based natural language processing to also provide a method of inferring mental health.

The definitions of employee mental health, the costs of employeemental illness to organizations and to society as a whole, and the role of the workplace in promoting positive mental health are reviewed.

It is argued there is now good theoretical rationale and growing evidence of water insecurity as a possible driver of mental ill‐health, and some nascent evidence suggests that emotionally meaningful interactions with water might improve mental health outcomes.

The evidence is summarised suggesting that positive mental health and mental illness are two distinct but interrelated domains of mental health; each having shared and unique predictors, influencing each other via complex interrelationships.

There have been changes in mental health and health status at an individual level since the outbreak of COVID-19, and the observed predictors should be addressed in order to maintain mental health.

This review aims to answer whether and to what extent lifestyle and related nutrition affect mental health and whether there is scientific evidence supporting a link between diet and mental health.

It was found that a sizable proportion of participants responded that others would hold a negative attitude towards (former) mental patients, especially with regard to engaging in closer personal relationships.

Effective, evidence-based interventions that can help enhance the sense of safety, hope, and optimism, as well as serve to promote social connectedness for those who are impacted by natural disasters are discussed.

This work focuses on the epidemiology of Selected Mental Disorders in Later Life and the treatment of psychiatric disorders in the Elderly with a focus on alcohol and substance abuse.

Abstract We analyze the role of education as a determinant of mental health. To do this, we leverage the age‐specific exposure to an educational reform as an instrument for years of education and find that the treated cohorts gained more education. This increase in education had an effect on mental health more than 2 decades later. An extra year of education led to a lower likelihood of reporting any symptoms related to depression (11.3%) and anxiety (9.8%). More educated people also suffered less severe symptoms – depression (6.1%) and anxiety (5.6%). These protective effects are higher among...

First published in 1972, A History of the Mental Health Services is a revised and abridged version of both Lunacy, Law and Conscience and Mental Health and Social Policy, rewriting the material from the end of the Second World War to the passing of the Mental Health Act 1959, and adding a new section which runs from 1959 to the Social Services Act 1970. The story starts with the first legislative mention of the 'furiously and dangerously mad' as a class for whom some treatment should be provided, traces the development of reform and experiment in the nineteenth century, and the creation of the...

A greater body of more rigorous research is needed to understand and prevent suicide in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), with the goal of highlighting findings from under-researched, over-burdened settings.

Mental health impacts of climate change have the potential to affect a significant proportion of the population and more research is needed to document the extent of these impacts as well as the best options for mitigating and treating them.

This article presents an introduction to, and a systematic review of, current ML work regarding psycho-socially based mental health conditions from the computing and HCI literature, and reflects on the current state-of-the-art of ML work for mental health.

We provide quasi-experimental estimates of the impact of social media on mental health by leveraging a unique natural experiment: the staggered introduction of Facebook across US colleges. Our analysis couples data on student mental health around the years of Facebook’s expansion with a generalized difference-in-differences empirical strategy. We find that the rollout of Facebook at a college had a negative impact on student mental health. It also increased the likelihood with which students reported experiencing impairments to academic performance due to poor mental health. Additional evidenc...

The aim of this work was to link current understanding about insomnia mechanisms with current knowledge about mental health dysregulatory mechanisms, which represent important challenges in clinical practice on mood, anxiety, and psychotic disorders.

Diet and obesity can affect mood through direct effects, or stress-related mental disorders could lead to changes in diet habits that affect weight, which has led to efforts to assess polyunsaturated fats as a treatment for depression.

The infection caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) started from China and reached the whole world and was declared as pandemic by WHO, which has added to panic, stress, and the potential for hysteria.

There is substantial inconsistency in the inclusion and emphasis of symptoms assessed within disorders as well as considerable symptom overlap across disorder-specific tools, demonstrating the need for standardized assessment tools that are more disorder agnostic and span the full spectrum of mental health symptoms.
