These articles provide a window into the breadth of issues at the intersection of MHDS with psychopharmacology and substance use. Integrating the fields of psychopharmacology and basic behavioral addictions science with research on MHDS is not only of public health importance, but can help further elucidate our understanding of human behavior in all of its complexity. As demonstrated here, a better understanding of the synergy between societal context(s) and individual-level processes can lead to interventions tailored to specific risk and resilience factors; interventions that are personalized and contextualized have the potential to improve the health of our society. We are very grateful to the authors for their contributions to this special issue. We hope that professionals from various disciplines who read this special issue become inspired to bridge psychopharmacological and social determinants perspectives in their own work, and, in turn, accelerate scientific progress within each field.
