To improve mental health, risk factors related to "social determinants" like food insecurity or inadequate housing need to be addressed, according to some health experts. But even doing that doesn't go far enough upstream,

The article from MSN discusses the importance of addressing the root causes of mental health issues rather than just treating the symptoms, as highlighted by Dr. Ruma Bhargava, a psychiatrist. She emphasizes that societal factors like poverty, discrimination, and lack of access to education and healthcare significantly contribute to mental health problems. Dr. Bhargava advocates for a public health approach to mental health, suggesting that improvements in social conditions could prevent many mental health issues. She points out that while individual therapy and medication are crucial, systemic changes in policy and community support are equally vital to reduce the prevalence of mental disorders. The article also touches on the need for better integration of mental health services into primary care and the importance of community-based interventions to tackle these underlying causes effectively.
