What Is CCHR?
Our newsletters mostly assume that our readers know what CCHR is about. This may not be the case with all our readers. Watch this short video documentary to find out about CCHR and its global accomplishments.
The purpose of CCHR is: To make the world safe by bringing psychiatrists and psychologists back under the law, ensuring their criminal and abusive practices and ideologies are abolished and having them deprived of their unearned appropriations, thus restoring human rights to the field of mental health.
In order to accomplish this purpose, it is vital that our families, friends, and associates are able to recognize psychiatric fraud and abuse, and to know how to respond when this occurs.
To this end, our recent Public Seminar on November 16th focused on Informed Consent; and our upcoming Public Seminar on January 11 will focus on Legislative Action.
CCHR has long fought to restore basic inalienable human rights to the field of mental health, including, but not limited to, fully informed consent regarding the medical legitimacy of psychiatric diagnosis, the risks of psychiatric treatment, the right to all available medical alternatives, and the right to refuse any treatment considered harmful.
Since psychiatrists regularly fail to obtain informed consent by not fully informing their patients of the risks of psychotropic drugs as well as overstating their benefits, it is vital that people know how to talk to their doctors in order to be able to accept or reject a diagnosis and its treatment.
Our November Public Seminar attendees learned how to do this.
Let us know your own concerns about psychiatric fraud and abuse, and what you might like to experience in our next Public Seminars. Here are some suggestions for areas we might address:
- Informed Consent
