Call for papers – Mental health services for depression and anxiety

BMC Health Services Research is calling for submissions to our Collection on Mental health services for depression and anxiety.

Mental health disorders, particularly depression and anxiety, represent significant public health challenges globally. As the prevalence of these conditions continues to rise, there is an urgent need for effective mental health services tailored to meet the diverse needs of affected individuals. This Collection seeks to explore innovative approaches to mental health care, focusing on service delivery models, access to care, and the integration of evidence-based practices in addressing depression and anxiety. 

Advancements in mental health services over the past decade, including the integration of digital health technologies and community-based interventions, have shown promise in enhancing treatment accessibility and engagement. Research has highlighted the importance of personalized care approaches, addressing stigma, and improving the overall quality of mental health services. As we continue to refine these interventions, it is essential to explore barriers to care and optimize service delivery to better meet the needs of diverse populations.

Continued research in this field has the potential to lead to groundbreaking advancements, such as the development of hybrid care models that combine traditional therapeutic approaches with technology-driven interventions. This could further promote accessibility, affordability, and effectiveness in treating depression and anxiety, ultimately improving mental health outcomes on a larger scale.

Topics for submission:

  • Innovations in mental health service delivery
  • Access to mental health care for depression and anxiety
  • Community-based interventions for mental health
  • Digital health technologies in mental health services

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3 (Good Health and Well Being).

All manuscripts submitted to this journal, including those submitted to collections and special issues, are assessed in line with our editorial policies and the journal’s peer review process.
