The mental health of individuals is shaped by the social, environmental and economic conditions in which they are born, grow, work and age. Poverty and deprivation are key determinants of children's social and behavioural development and adult mental health. There is increased risk of mental health problems in underprivileged population and it can be both a causal factor and a consequence of mental ill health.
Marginalization includes but is not limited to caste, religion, mental health status, physical ability, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, sex, gender identity, weight, age, and race.
