High quality and relevant content is a top ranking factor, which would impact the site's ability to rank for this more competitive keyword.

The site also does not target the keyword, mental health forum, in the page title tag, and the home page is missing an SEO optimized H1 heading tag, so it will be more difficult to rank for this keyword without either of those elements optimized for SEO.
um maybe keep in mind theres an actual website forums called Psych Forums which is different than here. a great many of those search results are probably for the other website called psych forums.com.
