In this chapter, I share my impressions of how far the Danish psychiatric treatment system has come in implementing the Convention on Rights for Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), specifically Article 12 paragraphs 1 and 2. I have chosen to describe how human rights are respected in relation to people who are diagnosed with severe mental health problems, as in my opinion this group is given far too little attention. My insight into how psychiatry is practised was developed through my advocacy for my daughter Luise, who was diagnosed with severe mental health problems. As chairman of the association Death in Psychiatry, I have confirmed that my experience with Luise’s treatment was typical. In this chapter, I identify reasons why the human rights of people with mental health problems are not respected enough, and I conclude that there needs to be a paradigm shift in the professionals’ and the public’s view of mental disability. I have great confidence that the Safewards and Recovery treatment models, which are being employed more and more in Danish psychiatry, are steps in the right direction.
