Abstract

In recent years, we have seen a reversal of the previous positive trend in mental health. Mental well-being can be influenced by several factors, such as whether or not individuals live in Hungary or as Hungarians across the border. This article examines the mental health of Hungarians living beyond the national borders and the factors that influence it. The study clearly confirms that social relationships, religiosity, and the social characteristics of the regions play a key role in the mental health of the Hungarian minority populations aged 18–49. Shared values, stable relationships, and active religious commitment are protective factors that can reduce the likelihood of psychological stress in minority communities. However, among couples with differing worldviews—where religiosity as one of the main determinants—pose a significant risk to mental health.
