Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Mental Health publishes research on a wide range of mental health conditions and interventions. Recent articles focus on the effectiveness of various therapeutic approaches, including co-produced peer groups, qualitative clinical interviews for suicide risk assessment, and group-based psychological interventions for emotional distress. The journal also examines factors influencing mental health, such as medication non-adherence, cannabis use, social anxiety in adolescents, self-harm, early labor market exit, and burnout among healthcare professionals. Additionally, it explores the impact of terminology on prejudice, the role of intersectional sensitivity in therapy, and patient experience measurement in mental health care, particularly for older adults.
