Mental health has a low priority. There is a lack of knowledge about mental health issues, with widespread stigma, prejudice and discrimination. In every community, there are people living with mental health problems who are likely to be isolated, abused and deprived of their fundamental human rights.
The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities(CRPD) highlights that persons with disabilities include those who have “mental impairments” and emphasizes the need to ensure their full and equal enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms, and to promote their participation in civil, political, economic, social and cultural spheres with equal opportunities.
