The integration of digital technologies into mental health care has the potential to address widespread mental health challenges, particularly in underserved populations. However, issues of equity remain central to ensuring that these innovations benefit all individuals, regardless of their socioeconomic, cultural, or geographical backgrounds. This paper explores how insights from medical anthropology can inform efforts to promote health equity in digital mental health interventions, particularly in the context of global mental health. By examining cultural practices, local understandings of mental health, and the social determinants of mental well-being, we propose a more inclusive, culturally sensitive approach to digital mental health interventions that prioritize equity.
