Psychiatric rights refer to the legal and ethical entitlements of individuals receiving mental health care. These rights ensure that patients have the ability to make informed decisions about their treatment, including the right to consent or refuse medication and therapy. They also protect individuals from discrimination and ensure access to appropriate care. In many countries, psychiatric rights are supported by laws and regulations, such as the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act in the United States. These rights aim to promote dignity, autonomy, and respect for individuals with mental health conditions, ensuring they are treated fairly within the healthcare system.
