Abstract: Concerns about mental health issues among college students are growing. Enhancing mental health literacy (MHL) is an effective approach to foster knowledge, reduce stigma, and promote help‐seeking. This study aimed to explore trends, themes, and research gaps in MHL among college students from 2014 to 2023. A bibliometric analysis was conducted on 799 articles retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection using CiteSpace. The results revealed a steady rise in scholarly attention, with a notable acceleration after 2019. The United States of America was the most productive country, and the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health was the most prolific journal. Strong institutional and international collaboration networks were identified. Core themes included "mental health," "depression," and "attitudes," reflecting a continued emphasis on recognition and stigma reduction. Meanwhile, emerging topics such as "stress" and "qualitative research" exhibited significant citation bursts. These findings provided a comprehensive overview of the evolution, current landscape, and potential future directions of MHL research among college students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
