| 英文摘要：Introduction The relationship between mental health and human rights is complex and bidirectional. Therefore, global mental health movements should emphasize the promotion of human rights in mental health care in accordance with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the WHO QualityRights Initiative. The main objective of this article is to have an overview on the current global situation of human rights in mental health services. Methods A review of scientific literature search engines was performed to identify articles focusing on human rights in mental health care since 2008, using the broadest possible search string. The search engines used included: Embase, MEDLINE via PubMed, and PsycINFO, limiting the time to Jan 2008 - Feb 2020. The keywords used included: “human rights” or “rights-based approach” or “QualityRights” or “CRPD” or “rights”, AND “Mental Health” or “psychiatry” or “psychiatric” on Considering the possible national or local research in this field, no language restrictions were placed. Results The literature search and elimination process yielded a total of 26 articles focusing on bhuman rights related reports and tools. Further assessment of these articles clearly shows that despite significant improvements in mental health service delivery in the past decades, there is still significant reporting of the continuing prominence of stigmatizing attitudes, and human rights violations and abuses in mental health settings. Conclusions The human rights perspective requires society, particularly policy makers, to actively promote necessary conditions for all individuals to fully realize their rights. We suggest developing a more comprehensive model that integrates human rights into existing mental health services and approaches. A model that recognizes that all people with mental health or psychosocial conditions are rights holders.
