In the discussion of health, human rights, and equality, mental disability and mental health care have been overlooked. Respecting individuals with mental disabilities' inherent dignity, individual autonomy and independence, and the freedom to make their own decisions are all aspects of a human rights approach to mental disability. In order to take a rights-based approach, we need to look at and change the language, terms, and models of mental disability that have been used in the past, especially in health discourse. In order to come up with a solution that is based on a human rights framework, we must also investigate the numerous ways in which inequality and discrimination affect the lives of people with mental disabilities. The implications of international treaties like the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities for our response to the inequalities and discrimination that exist within society — both within and outside the health care system — are the subject of this article, which I examine issues of terminology, models of understanding mental disability, and the implications of these treaties. Lastly, while I acknowledge that health care professionals can advocate for equality, non-discrimination, and justice, I argue that people with mental disabilities should be at the centre of advocacy movements and the advocacy agenda because they have the right to exercise agency in their own lives.
