Determinants of mental health This first briefing from the Centre’s Commission for Equality in Mental Health finds that mental health inequalities are closely linked to wider injustices in society. Inequalities in wealth, power and voice are linked to poorer mental health. Exclusion, discrimination, violence and insecurity all increase our risk of poor mental health and explain why some groups of people face markedly higher rates of mental ill health than others. The briefing explores actions that can be taken, from communities and local services to national policies, to reduce mental health inequalities. Centre for Mental Health
