Mental health is an essential component of overall well-being, encompassing emotional, psychological, and social functioning. Mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, contribute significantly to the global burden of disease and disability. This paper examines the prevalence, determinants, and consequences of mental health problems, along with strategies for prevention, management, and public health interventions. Emphasis is placed on integrating mental health services into primary healthcare, promoting awareness, reducing stigma, and implementing evidence-based policies to improve population mental health outcomes.
