Mental Health and Its Relationship with the Gentrification Process

Ariadna Gabriela Matos Matos

Gentrification, 2024, vol. 1, 69

Abstract: The article addresses the complex interaction between urban transformation and the psychological well-being of affected residents. Through a comprehensive literature review of publications between 2010 and 2023, this study synthesizes existing evidence on how gentrification influences the incidence of mental disorders such as anxiety, depression, and stress. The analysis reveals that urban changes not only alter the physical infrastructure of neighborhoods but also displace communities, disrupt social support networks, and exacerbate mental health problems among vulnerable populations. This work highlights the importance of incorporating mental health considerations into urban planning and policies to mitigate the negative impacts of gentrification and promote the development of sustainable and psychologically healthy communities
