The authors explore how social determinants of health (SDoHs) impact psychiatric disorders and emphasize the need for their integration into clinical practice and research. They propose a biopsychosocial framework that connects social exposures, biological mechanisms, and psychological processes to better understand mental health risks and interventions. The paper highlights the importance of assessing SDoHs and suggests leveraging digital technologies to enhance mental health care globally.
