Focus Issue: Understanding Mental Health

The importance of mental health has been felt around the world as people cope with the COVID-19 pandemic and we recognise that there will be a long-lasting impact on mental health. With Mental Health Awareness Month in May, the BMC Series presents a focus issue on ‘Understanding Mental Health’. We have collated open-access content from across our journals to highlight research into how mental wellbeing can be affected by health conditions and other risk factors, and advances in managing and improving mental health. We also bring together articles that are giving emerging insight into the impact of COVID-19 on mental health. 

By sharing this research, we wish to highlight content that could make a difference to people’s mental health and support the UN's Sustainable Development Goals: SDG1 No poverty, SDG 3 Good Health and Wellbeing, SDG8 Decent work and economic growth, SDG10 Reduced inequalities, and SDG13 Climate Action. BMC Cancer is proud to contribute to the collection.
