The right to mental health 2017, para. 60
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Mental health services must be of good quality. That requires the use of evidence-based practices to support prevention, promotion, treatment and recovery. Effective collaboration between different service providers and people using the services and their families and care partners, also supports enhanced quality of care. The abuse of biomedical interventions, including the inappropriate use or overprescription of psychotropic medications and the use of coercion and forced admissions, compromise the right to quality care. Prioritizing the scaling-up of community-based psychosocial services and mobilizing social resources that can support everyone throughout their life course, will enhance the quality of services.
