摘要

Substance use and mental health disorders represent major public health concerns worldwide. This bibliometric analysis investigates global research trends, collaborative networks, and emerging gaps in the intersection of substance use and mental health. The search was restricted to PubMed records in English with a publication date on or before the 31st of December 2024 to ensure consistency in indexing and thematic analysis. VOSviewer and RStudio were used to analyse publication patterns, co-authorship networks, and thematic evolution. From 1967 to 2024, 23,061 publications were identified, showing a 7.09% annual growth rate. The United States led in research output and international collaborations, followed by Canada and Australia. Prominent themes included addiction, dual diagnosis, adolescent mental health, and neurobiological factors. Keyword clusters reflected biopsychosocial perspectives and highlighted underserved areas such as gender minorities and socio-environmental influences. Notable gaps remain in longitudinal outcomes and studies from low- and middle-income countries. While global research is expanding, equitable representation and interdisciplinary collaborations are needed to address critical gaps in substance use and mental health research.
