Abstract
The importance of psychosocial processes in mental well-being warrants emphasizing. Time and again, psychological and social factors have been proven to be highly important in determining a person’s mental health (Elkefi et al., 2023, p.105065). Psychosocial dynamics have a vast scope, covering a lot of factors, such as stress, social support, coping strategies, interpersonal ties, socioeconomic situations, and societal aspects. Understanding how these dynamics unfold can be instrumental when it comes to the enhancement of subjective wellness. Acknowledgement of the significance of psychosocial variables does not necessarily eliminate the existing difference in understanding regarding the impact of lifestyle elements on mental health. Lifestyle factors cover individuals’ daily behaviors and choices, including diet, exercise routine, sleeping pattern, social life, and work–life balance (Pluut and Wonders, 2020). Literature has investigated the effect of these elements on physical health, but recently researchers have also begun to notice the role these factors play in mental health. Nonetheless, there is still a requirement for detailed investigation to assess the interactive relationship that exists between lifestyle backgrounds and mental health. This paper aims to bridge this gap by examining the interconnection between lifestyle-related components and mental well-being in the European setting. The European context offers a unique situation with various cultures, socioeconomic standards, healthcare systems, and lifestyles. By focusing on Europe, we try to attain more profound knowledge of how different lifestyle factors affect mental health within our cultural and social context. Moreover, looking at this issue from a European perspective presents an opportunity to understand how cultural differences affect the links between lifestyle factors and mental health. It can thus guide the interventions and policies that are more suitable for promoting mental health in European populations.
