Global Mental Health Crisis: Advocacy for an Inclusive Empathy Stance.

Abstract This paper aligns with the trend of positive psychology and explores relevant, affordable, and practical strategies to enhance global Mental health (MH) conditions. It is believed that MH plays a significant role in ensuring the capacity of individuals to self-actualize and evidently engage in a collaborative lifestyle in society. This lifestyle is described as positive, inclusive, and creative, and enables quality peace in human society. This paper posits that Inclusive Empathy Stance (IES), with its high level of symbolic interactions, is a strategy capable of intentionally engaging every individual and ensuring the quality of their social behaviors. The efforts of various institutions and governments to provide a high quality of life among their citizens are commendable initiatives. This paper, however, suggests that the intentional responsibility of every individual could yield better results in ensuring quality MH and a peaceful lifestyle among global citizens of the world. The global risk condition of human societies, evidently, requires a Higher Intelligence (HI) for effective control. This HI is suggested here as IES. Human problems require human solutions.
