justice in psychiatry

Justice in psychiatry refers to the ethical principle that individuals should be treated fairly, equitably, and without bias. It means providing mental health care that respects each person's rights, ensures equal access regardless of background or circumstances, and promotes fairness in diagnosing, treating, and allocating resources. This principle also involves protecting vulnerable populations and preventing discrimination, ensuring everyone receives the appropriate care and support they need for mental well-being. Essentially, justice upholds fairness and equality in mental health practices for all individuals.
