Both discourses have influenced the development of strategies to better understand and address—at a global scale—the mental health treatment gap.

The Internet continues to be a widely used resource to access mental health information. However, the overall low quality of online mental disorder information, with the possible exception of that for mood disorders, raises concerns that consumers may be receiving an incomplete or inaccurate picture of their disorder of interest or concern. Ongoing evaluations of website quality are needed to ensure that consumers are empowered with accurate and usable information for good health and well being.

Mental health problems are widely recognized as a major public health challenge worldwide. This highlights the need for effective tools for detecting mental health disorders in the population. Social media data is a promising source of information where people publish rich personal information that can be mined to extract valuable psychological information. However, social media data poses its own set of challenges, such as the specific terms and expressions used on different platforms, interactions between different users through likes and shares, and the need to disambiguate between statements about oneself and about third parties.
