Mental, neurological, and substance use (MNS) disorders are leading causes of the global burden of disease and profoundly impact the social and economic well-being of individuals and communities. The majority of people affected by MNS disorders globally do not have access to evidence-based interventions and many experience discrimination and abuses of their human rights. A United Nations General Assembly Special Session (UNGASS) is needed to focus global attention on MNS disorders as a core development issue requiring commitments to improve access to care, promote human rights, and strengthen the evidence on effective prevention and treatment.
精神、神经和物质使用(MNS)障碍是全球疾病负担的主要原因,深刻影响着个人和社区的社会和经济福祉。全球大多数受 MNS 障碍影响的人无法获得基于证据的干预措施,许多人遭受歧视和侵犯人权的行为。需要召开一次联合国大会特别会议(UNGASS),将全球对 MNS 障碍的关注重点作为一个核心发展问题,需要承诺改善获得护理的机会,促进人权,并加强关于有效预防和治疗的证据。
