About this Research Topic
Against this background, the goal of this Research Topic is to examine the multiple interdependencies between mental health and global challenges and the impact on societies and individuals. To do so, this Research Topic aims at shedding light on possible diagnostic and therapeutic strategies and interventions aimed at overcoming the multiple barriers to accessing mental health services.
