An Opportunity for a Revolution in Mental Health Services toward Positive Well‑Being

Abstract

In a recent correspondence, the authors pointed that the COVID‑19 pandemic has caused an austere impact on the health and wellbeing, especially of the homeless children and youths.[1] Indeed, the global health crisis has exposed significant gaps in public health that societies must vigorously resolve. It is crucial to consider the social determinants of health to initiate meaningful change in public health. This letter supports the call to address gaps in public health systems, particularly regarding mental health care in developing countries.
