Abstract | Protests, social unrest, and other forms of collective actions have taken place in more than 180 countries over the past half century, accounting for 99% of the world’s population. Social unrest is rising globally, including in numerous large prosperous cities in the past year. Despite this extensive history, collective actions as an emerging socio-political determinant of mental health remains largely unassessed. Here, we present a systematic review of literature and evidence from prospective cohort studies of the population-wide impact of social unrest on mental health. We show the mental health burden, risk factors and health care needs during major collective actions. This has important implications for health-care professionals, service planners, and policy makers on the need for mental health and psychosocial support during and after collective actions to better protect mental health. |
