How do we know if Scotland is becoming more mentally healthy or less so? Are there variations in mental wellbeing between different areas of Scotland? How does Scotland's mental health compare to that of other countries?
NHS Health Scotland was commissioned by the Scottish Government to establish a core set of sustainable mental health indicators to enable national monitoring.
The first ever systematic assessment of the adult population’s overall mental health was completed in 2009.
It is planned that the final indicator set for children and young people will be published in Autumn 2011.
