The physical, social and economic implications of poor mental health are extensive. The prevalence and pattern of mental health-related challenges, resources, and interventions have been well-reported in developed countries. Despite the growing evidence of this health problem in developing countries, a research gap still exists on the holistic measurement and description of the problem, including interventions, policies, actions, and programs to mitigate mental health challenges. Considerable empirical evidence suggests that multifaceted social, economic, and environmental factors are drivers of mental health and its associated disorders. Considering these points, promoting mental health across vulnerable populations in low- and –middle-income countries is critical to global health. As the world seeks to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG3), it is clear that mental health can significantly impact overall human health, regardless of gender, age, or career stage - the importance of improving the mental health of vulnerable populations throughout an individual’s lifespan and within different professional environments cannot be underestimated. By comprehending the obstacles and prospects related to mental health and its related illnesses among vulnerable populations, valuable insights could be obtained to create effective interventions and strategies that promote mental well-being globally. Specifically, taking steps to enhance the daily living conditions of this population offers opportunities to improve any population’s mental health and decrease the risk of mental illnesses or disorders.
