Triggered by prolonged rainfall and exacerbated by urbanisation and the influence of El Niño, this event caused unprecedented devastation, with over 615,000 individuals displaced and severe socioeconomic impacts.

A comprehensive search was conducted using PubMed, PsycINFO and Google Scholar, covering publications from 2000 to 2024. The review focused on peer-reviewed articles, reports and relevant grey literature examining the influence of commercial practices on mental health.</p><p><strong>Results and discussion: </strong>The review found 45 studies from different countries and industries, highlighting how commercial practices and exposure to their content negatively impact children's and adolescents' mental health. Beyond traditional industries like tobacco, food and alcohol, the review explores others. Social media use is associated with increased anxiety and depression due to social comparison and cyberbullying. Easy access to pornographic content distorts perceptions of relationships and sexuality, contributing to anxiety, depression and behavioural disorders. The gambling industry's normalisation of betting through advertising influences addictive behaviour from an early age. Aggressive marketing by the pharmaceutical industry can lead to excessive or inappropriate use of diagnostic labels and psychotropic medications, exacerbating mental health problems and posing significant ethical and public health challenges.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Commercial determinants significantly impact child and adolescent mental health, necessitating a multifaceted approach to address these challenges. Parents and children's education, implementation of public policies and regulation of harmful commercial practices are essential to protect and promote mental health in future generations.

After accounting for financial stress as a mediator, the direct effects of financial position on depressive symptoms were not statistically significant. The cross-sectional models overestimated the relationship between financial stress and depressive symptoms; otherwise, results between the CLPM and cross-sectional models were comparable.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that interventions addressing financial stress may improve depressive symptoms.
