This paper offers an intersectional perspective to enable inclusivity when addressing global mental health challenges, whilst also tackling social exclusion and vulnerability. Examples are given from purposefully selected countries to demonstrate the effectiveness of exploring issues through an intersectional approach. The authors conclude that a 'one size fits all' approach, when working towards universal mental health, is not the best approach and cannot provide a solution for all. They suggest the WHO, UN, governments and mental health agencies need to view global mental health differently to achieve alternative and better targeted solutions.
