TL;DR: A special session of the UN General Assembly is called for to discuss and debate action needed on mental, neurological, and substance use disorders, which have been left off the international NCDs agenda.
Abstract: Mental, neurological, and substance use (MNS) disorders are leading causes of the global burden of disease and profoundly impact the social and economic well-being of individuals and communities.

A United Nations General Assembly Special Session (UNGASS) is needed to focus global attention on MNS disorders as a core development issue requiring commitments to improve access to care, promote human rights, and strengthen the evidence on effective prevention and treatment.
