A Global Vision for Mental Health
Distinguished global citizens
Mental illness is the great invisible crisis of our time.
It touches every family, every community, and every nation—yet too often, it remains hidden in silence, shrouded in stigma, and excluded from priority in global health.

We can no longer afford this neglect.
Mental health is not a private struggle.
It is a universal challenge. It is not a weakness; it is a matter of human rights, social justice, and sustainable development.
Today, Antigua and Barbuda calls for a new global vision, that places mental health at the very heart of the development agenda.
This vision rests on three urgent imperatives:
- Normalize Mental Wellness. Let us build a culture where speaking about mental health is as natural as speaking about physical health. Awareness and education must dismantle stigma, foster resilience, and empower individuals to seek care without fear or shame.
- Universal Access to Care. Every clinic, every nurse, every community must be equipped to respond to mental health needs. With innovation—telemedicine, digital tools, and global best practices—we can ensure quality, affordable care reaches every corner of the world.
- Global Solidarity. Mental health cannot be solved in isolation. It demands partnerships across borders and sectors—governments, civil society, faith communities, the private sector, and international institutions. Together, we must mobilize expertise, resources, and political will to elevate mental health on the global NCD agenda.
Excellencies, this is not only a matter of health. It is about the child whose education falters under untreated anxiety; the worker whose productivity is crushed by depression; the family fractured by unspoken pain.
Mental health is a development issue, an economic issue, a security issue. Above all, it is a human issue.
Our call to action:
• Let us treat mental health with the same urgency, investment, and compassion as physical health.
• Let us declare that no person, anywhere in the world, should be left to suffer in silence.
• Let us recognize mental wellness as a global public good—essential to resilience, peace and shared global prosperity.
Antigua and Barbuda stands ready to contribute to this global movement.
We will share our experiences, learn from others, and champion the integration of mental health into every layer of development policy.
Together, let us make this decade an inflection point.
Let’s make it the moment when the world finally recognized that there can be no true human progress without mental wellness.
Mental wellness is the people’s right.
Blessings.

Yet our main mental health facility is in shambles.
Mental health is health. Thank you, Prime Minister Browne, for reminding world leaders that development isn’t complete if mental wellness is ignored.
Right now I’m overwhelmed with UN stories. PM welcome back. Thanks for the advocacy
