Without full information, many
people submit to psychiatric drugs or shock "willingly," putting
themselves and others in great danger. Prescribing dangerous drugs
without allowing the patient informed consent, as well as forced
drugging, shock, inhumane "treatments" and unjust incarceration for
mental problems constitute violations of human rights.
If you are an individual working for human rights, or if you are a
survivor of the "mental health" industry, send us your videos or
photos. We are currently compiling another photo / video montage. Email your photos or
videos, a quotation, or factoid for inclusion to
amy@uniteforlife.org.
