AB  - The movement for global mental health (MGMH) has raised awareness about the 
      paucity of mental health services, particularly in low- and middle-income 
      countries. In response, policies and programs have been developed by the World 
      Health Organization and by the Lancet Commission on global mental health, among 
      other organizations. These policy initiatives and programs, while recognizing the 
      importance of being responsive to local needs and culture, are based on Western 
      biomedical conceptualizations of emotional distress. In the paper, we discuss how 
      a rights-based approach can promote the voice and participation of people with 
      lived experience into the MGMH. We argue that a human rights framework can be 
      enhanced by incorporating the conceptual approaches of critical inquiry and 
      community mental health. We also discuss how rights-based approaches and 
      service-user activism can productively reconfigure Western psychiatric 
      conceptualizations of distress and provide both a moral and empirical 
      justification for a paradigm shift within the MGMH.
