Depression was the most frequently studied condition (n = 16), followed by anxiety (n = 10), PTSD (n = 6), and SUD (n = 4), with several reviews addressing multiple conditions. Primary study sample sizes ranged from 3152 to over 50\u00a0000 participants, with wide variation in injury characteristics, study design, and outcome measures. Pooled prevalence estimates indicated a substantial burden: depression affected up to 43% of community-dwelling individuals, anxiety symptoms around 27%, PTSD up to 62%, and hazardous alcohol use \u226550% in some cohorts. Common risk factors included pain, injury severity, incomplete injury, low social support, maladaptive coping, and co-occurring psychological symptoms. Evidence for effective interventions was limited, and few studies used standardised, validated tools across settings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Mental health conditions are highly prevalent in the tSCI population, yet intervention research remains limited.
