Psychiatric problems are widespread globally, with depression ranking as the third most prevalent factor. By 2030, it is forecasted to become the leading factor contributing to the occurrence of diseases. The state of one's mental health has a substantial influence on their sense of value, relationships with others, and day-to-day functioning. Signs and symptoms of mental health issues can include enduring feelings of sadness, disruptions in sleep patterns, reduced energy levels, alterations in appetite, changes in behaviour and thoughts, difficulties with concentration, substance abuse, detachment from reality, managing daily stress, problems in relationships, deterioration in personal care, and a noticeable decline in performance at school, work, or social activities. These symptoms may result in social isolation, emotional eruptions, intense rage, suicidal ideation, impaired focus, and challenges in interpersonal interactions. Having an optimal state of mental health can significantly improve the overall quality of life, whilst having a substandard state of well-being can worsen it. There is a strong association between poor mental health and a range of diseases, such as chronic inflammation, cardiovascular dysfunction, asthma, metabolic disorders, diabetes, cancer, autoimmune syndromes, and neurological diseases. Various elements, including biological, psychological, behavioural, dietary, and social factors, might exert an influence on mental health. The government implements actions and projects to improve global mental health, and there are multiple ways available for assessing mental health. Medicinal therapies such as Ayurvedic, Homeopathic, Allopathic, and Unani can be utilized to enhance mental health. The extent to which psychological therapy can improve mental health is still a mystery to us. A thorough literature review was conducted using various databases (e.g., PubMed, Scopus) and government websites, focusing on mental health, including epidemiology, interventions, and treatment methods. Additionally, the potential impacts of climate change on mental health were examined. This study aimed to address the limitations of previous reviews by evaluating the effectiveness of various psychological interventions, regardless of their theoretical foundation, and assessing the influence of different moderators in a single systematic review and meta-analysis. While further research is needed, the review offers insights into the design of psychological interventions to enhance mental well-being.
