Mental Health Treatment and Access Global Public Health Policies and Epidemiology Human Rights and Development

Abstract

In September 2015, mental health was included in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this historic step, the United Nations (UN) acknowledged the burden of disease of mental illness, and defined mental health as a priority for global development for the next 15 years. On the road to this achievement, many individuals and organisations have played a role in contributing to the inclusion of mental health in the SDGs, one of which is the global initiative called FundaMentalSDG. This group has urged the UN to include mental health in the new development goals, targets and indicators.
