Recommended Reforms

1. If psychiatrists are portrayed in film, television and other art mediums, their image should sharply reflect the complete lack of science underlying their theories and “diagnoses” and the harm inherent in their treatments and practices. Visit “Psychiatry: An Industry of Death Museum” at CCHR’s international headquarters in Hollywood for facts, research and story ideas.

2. If you or someone you know has been abused or harmed by psychiatric treatment, report this to your nearest branch of CCHR or send us an e-mail; we will assist you in whatever way we can.

3. A significant portion of people's misplaced reliance is on the "expertise" of psychiatry and psychology for the diagnosis and handling of emotionally distraught individuals. Foremost, persons in desperate circumstances must be provided proper and effective medical care, not psychiatric drugs and shock "therapy." Sound medical attention, good nutrition, a healthy, safe environment, activity that promotes confidence and effective education will do wonders for a troubled person.

4. If you are ever taken to a psychiatric facility, including a psychiatric drug detox/rehab center against your will, immediately call an attorney. Do NOT consent to treatment. Do not sign anything without an attorney present.

5. Support government policy that outlaws physically damaging psychiatric practices.
