Preventive mental health attempts to reduce the likelihood of psychological disorders by

A) enabling more people to see professional psychotherapists.
B) encouraging depressed people to take more personal responsibility for their own problems.
C) establishing programs to wipe out poverty and other demoralizing social conditions.
D) emphasizing the importance of using a biomedical approach to therapy.

Preventive mental health focuses on addressing the root causes of mental health disorders, such as poverty and social inequality, rather than just treating the symptoms. By creating programs and policies that address these underlying issues, it is possible to reduce the likelihood of mental health problems occurring in the first place. A, B, and D do not directly address the root causes of mental health disorders, and may not necessarily prevent them from occurring.
