Abstract

With the deepening of the individualization process in China, mental health is-sues have become important social and livelihood issues. This paper selects the perspective of "policy review" and adopts the method of literature review to conduct a systematic analysis of the external social environment and research status of mental health policies in China. The results show that policies in this field have the macro characteristics of "top-down". While the policy system is improving, there are still problems such as the imbalance of policy tools and the bias of policy objects. Meanwhile, the existing research mainly focuses on the analysis of texts at the national level, lacking in-depth discussions on the policy process, implementation effects, and differences in local policies. In terms of research methods, most quantitative models are limited to relatively isolated static analysis and fail to fully evaluate the policy synergy and the coordination mechanism among policy subjects.
