Introduction
    Mental health is one of the most neglected aspect of society. It would be essential to consider that mental disorders impose significant burden not only the society or the individual but also on the communities, employers, and government as well as healthcare systems. Mental health is mostly affected due to socio-economic and political factors.

Some of the major aims of this policy were to promote mental health and wellbeing of Australian community, preventing development of mental health issues, reducing the impact of mental illness, promoting recovery from mental health illness along with assuring the rights of individuals suffering from mental health issues. This policy specifically does not address the social and political factors affecting mental health issues such as, anxiety, depression and much more (The Department of Health, 2020).
