Mental health stands at the forefront of global healthcare priorities, profoundly influencing individual well-being, societal productivity, and public health outcomes. Within the areas of psychology and psychiatry, mental health encompasses a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and cognitive functions that define how people experience and respond to the world around them. Growing evidence highlights the interconnectedness of mental health with physical health, neurological development, and social conditions. The Journal of Psychology and Psychiatry recognizes the critical importance of advancing research, clinical practices, and community-based interventions that address mental health challenges. By promoting innovative studies and interdisciplinary approaches, we aim to contribute to early diagnosis, effective treatment, stigma reduction, and mental health resilience across populations.
