Mental health is vital to humanity, allowing us to lead fulfilling lives and contribute fully to our communities.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yet one in eight people around the world lives with a mental health condition, with women and young people being disproportionately impacted.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Three in four people affected receive inadequate treatment \u2013 or no care at all.\u00a0 And many face stigma and discrimination.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mental health is not a privilege but a fundamental human right \u2013 and must be part of universal health coverage.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Governments must provide care that promotes people\u2019s recovery and upholds their rights.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

T<\/span>his includes strengthening community-based support and integrating psychological help into broader health and social care.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

We must also tackle abuses and break down the barriers that prevent people from seeking support. And we must address root causes \u2013 poverty, inequality, violence, discrimination \u2013 and create more compassionate and resilient societies.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On World Mental Health Day and every day, let us reaffirm and uphold mental health as a universal human right, and together, build a healthier world where everyone can thrive.<\/span><\/p>\n
