Launched in 2011, the journal serves as the official publication of the American Sociological Association (ASA) Section on the Sociology of Mental Health, providing a focused venue for original research that applies sociological concepts and methods to mental health topics. It encourages submissions that explore how social structures, cultural contexts, economic conditions, policy frameworks, and institutional practices shape mental health outcomes and experiences across diverse populations and settings.

Society and Mental Health also highlights research that informs policy debates and contributes to improved mental health services and public understanding. With triannual issues, the journal maintains rigorous peer review and an interdisciplinary outlook, attracting contributions from sociologists and scholars in public health, psychology, social work, and related fields.
