Recent research has focused on the relationship between different forms of poverty and mental health, but real change in the area of mental health care has been sluggish to materialise. This publication presents a variety of perspectives on the link between poverty and mental health, as well as future research. There is a substantial association between socioeconomic level and the incidence of mental health problems (MHD), which makes MHD an increasing global public health issue. Eighty per cent of the world's mental disease burden is concentrated in low- and middle-income nations (LMICs). The stigma associated with mental health results in a lack of assistance, limited access to health facilities, inefficient treatment, subpar outcomes, and an increased risk of human rights violations. In addition, the frequent co-occurrence of physical illnesses, such as non-communicable diseases and mental health disorders, complicates treatment and worsens the prognosis for these conditions. According to the yearly Global Burden of Disease study, over 15% of the world's population, or approximately 750 million people, experienced mental health issues that year. Depression is the leading cause of poor health or disability, and according to the World Health Organization, mental health concerns cost the worldwide economy one trillion dollars every year. Poor people are disproportionately affected by mental health issues. According to the United Nations (UN), people living in poverty have limited access to several necessities. Obtaining social support is also a significant factor.
