population mental health

Population mental health refers to the overall mental well-being of a community or society, including how common mental health conditions are and how they impact people's daily lives. It considers factors like access to care, social support, economic stability, and environment, recognizing that mental health is affected by broader societal conditions. Improving population mental health aims to prevent mental health issues, promote resilience, and ensure that everyone has the resources and support needed to maintain psychological well-being at a communal level.
