Public Health"],"abstract":"<jats:p>Global crises are reshaping the conditions under which mental health is produced, threatened, protected, and restored. Pandemics, climate change, armed conflict, forced migration, political instability, economic insecurity, disasters, and digital disruption do not affect mental health only through individual stress reactions or discrete traumatic exposures. They also transform the social, territorial, institutional, ecological, and symbolic environments in which people interpret threat, seek support, access care, maintain hope, and imagine the future. This Conceptual Analysis reframes mental health responses to global crises by moving from an individual-centered model of coping toward a geopsychiatric understanding of collective resilience. We synthesize and extend published conceptual and empirical literature on global mental health, social determinants, disaster psychiatry, community resilience, emotional engagement, collective coping, climate-related distress, migration, structural violence, syndemics, digital environments, and geopsychiatry. We argue that resilience in global crises is not only a psychological capacity located within individuals, but also a collective, territorial, cultural, institutional, digital, and political process. The proposed geopsychiatric model links global crises to mental health outcomes through multilevel pathways involving individuals, relationships, communities, territories, institutions, digital ecosystems, and planetary systems. Emotional engagement, social meaning, institutional trust, access to resources, recognition, and collective efficacy are presented as mediating processes through which crises may either fragment communities or mobilize collective protection. This framework has implications for public mental health, policy, and care systems, suggesting that effective crisis responses should strengthen community supports, trusted communication, social protection, culturally meaningful care, digital responsibility, and climate- and crisis-resilient health systems. Collective resilience should therefore be understood not as a private duty, but as a geopsychiatric condition shaped by relationships between people, places, institutions, ecologies, and futures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpubh.2026.1930193","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,5]],"date-time":"2026-08-05T04:46:00Z","timestamp":1785905160000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["From
