Summary
The overarching aim of this editorial is to present a dream: a World Symposium in the eternal city of Rome in which prominent psychiatric experts, neuroethicists, and lawyers dialogue on severe mentally ill (SMI) patients as our global migrants. The aim is to foster an inclusive and fruitful interdisciplinary conversation and draw up practical proposals in order to protect and promote the dignity of human persons afflicted by severe mental disorders.
