Psychosocial well-being refers to a multidimensional state of positive psychological and social functioning in which individuals experience emotional well-being, meaningful engagement, positive relationships, and effective participation in their social environments ^[1]. It encompasses psychological dimensions such as positive emotions, self-acceptance, personal growth, autonomy, purpose in life, and a sense of competence, together with social dimensions such as interpersonal relationships, social connectedness, social acceptance, and participation ^[2]. Psychosocial well-being is shaped by individual characteristics as well as social, cultural, and environmental circumstances, including available resources and opportunities for meaningful social interaction ^[1]. It is broader than the absence of psychological symptoms and may coexist with periods of distress or other difficulties ^[2][3]. In clinical psychology, psychosocial well-being can therefore be considered alongside symptoms and functional impairment when evaluating an individual's overall psychological and social functioning. Its specific dimensions and relative importance may vary across individuals, developmental stages, and cultural contexts.
