Mental health is intertwined with nearly all Sustainable Development Goals, which are universal and apply to all countries worldwide. While recent decades have led to some progress in the biomedical understanding of mental disorders, research into social determinants of mental health has remained on the periphery, which impedes the development of strategies to prevent or alleviate symptoms of psychological distress from a holistic perspective. Currently, developing effective algorithms to address the social determinants of mental health can be a fruitful strategy through a holistic approach to the human being and their mental health. The paper aims to investigate social determinants of mental health in the context of the global Sustainable Development Goals.
