In the interest of fairness,
here are some links to people and organizations
that are fighting against the use of psychiatric medications.
Alliance for Human Research Protection
- The Alliance for Human Research Protection (AHRP) is
a national network of lay people and professionals dedicated to
advancing responsible and ethical medical research practices,
to ensure that the human rights, dignity and welfare of
human subjects are protected, and to minimize the risks associated
with such endeavors.
Psychiatric Drug Facts
- Peter R. Breggin, M.D. has been informing the professions,
media and the public about the potential dangers of drugs
electroshock, psychosurgery, involuntary treatment, and the
biological theories of psychiatry for over three decades.
MindFreedom
- Win human rights in the mental health system!
Death From Methylphenidate:
The Truth Behind ADHD
- Medical diagnosis should remain outside the realm of
education and stay there. Pressure to seek specific
medical treatment is not the job of the school system.
American Iatrogenic Association
- devoted to the study and reporting of illness caused
by physicians and other members of the medical profession.
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
FOR RIGHTS PROTECTION AND ADVOCACY
- NARPA exists to expose abuse, to shed light on coercive and
dangerous practices, and to promote real alternatives to a
mental health system that even professionals agree is a disgrace.
The Antipsychiatry
Coalition
- to warn you of the harm routinely inflicted on those
who receive psychiatric "treatment"
Thomas S. Szasz Cybercenter
for Liberty and Responsibility
- Although we may not know it, we have, in our day, witnessed
the birth of the Therapeutic State.
This is perhaps the major implication of psychiatry as
an institution of social control.
