The Mental Healthcare Act 2017 is a landmark legislation that protects the rights of persons with mental illness. It ensures access to mental healthcare, protects against discrimination, and establishes mechanisms for advance directives and nominated representatives.
The Act guarantees the right to access mental healthcare, the right to community living, protection from cruel and inhuman treatment, and the right to information about treatment. It also decriminalizes suicide attempts and ensures insurance coverage for mental illness.
