In this literature review, we discuss the impact of Neoliberalism and Neoliberal Ideologies on various aspects of human life. The main focus of this review is the psychological effects of these ideologies and concepts. In the first section, we discuss how Neoliberalism has had an impact on the general/collective well-being – including the effects of competition and loneliness. Moving further, we examine the influence of Neoliberal systems on mental health at an individual level. And finally, dissertate on the effects these governing systems have had on the dreams and aspirations of the young today. The search for studies was made on PubMed and Google scholar to review based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The search yielded n=2464 articles. After the application of filters, and inclusion and exclusion criteria, n=80 articles were extracted and used in the Literature Review. We outline the various outcomes of Neoliberal structures and ideologies on collective and individual psychology. Keywords: Neoliberalism, Mental health, Social identity, Neoliberalist ideologies, Collectivism, Loneliness, Competition, Life aspirations/values

The main focus of this review is the psychological effects of these ideologies and concepts. In the first section, we discuss how Neoliberalism has had an impact on the general/collective well-being – including the effects of competition and loneliness. Moving further, we examine the influence of Neoliberal systems on mental health at an individual level. And finally, dissertate on the effects these governing systems have had on the dreams and aspirations of the young today. The search for studies was made on PubMed and Google scholar to review based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The search yielded n=2464 articles. After the application of filters, and inclusion and exclusion criteria, n=80 articles were extracted and used in the Literature Review. We outline the various outcomes of Neoliberal structures and ideologies on collective and individual psychology.
