Global mental health is an interdisciplinary discipline with academic training programmes, journals, textbooks and research consortiums working to explore and address a range of global mental health priorities in diverse global settings.


Much of this activity has been situated in psychiatry and public health disciplines, with a growing body of scholarly work from other professional and social science disciplines including: 


  • medical anthropology
  • social work
  • international development
  • clinical psychology


The role of the social sciences in global mental health is crucial to:


  • further critical understandings of how conceptions of ‘distress’ and ‘mental health’ and 'wellbeing' are socially, culturally and politically constructed in different contexts
  • theorising the intersections between social, economic and technological development and mental health
  • developing effective interdisciplinary approaches to addressing the mental health and development interface
