To: The British government
Have a heart and make meaningful true reforms to the current 'mental
health' system.
The methods that are employed by psychiatry and imposed onto those who
experience emotionally vulnerable or volatile states are often
inhumane and damaging.
In the clinical environment our requirements and needs are rarely met.
Our pleas, cries, explanations and experiences are invalidated and
recorded as symptoms.
To ensure individuals do not stray too far from the limited and
restricted parameters that define the 'norm', psychiatry currently
implements..................................................................
Incarceration, physical restraints, pain compliance techniques, forced
drugging, compulsory electro convulsive 'therapy', psycho surgery,
coercion and brainwashing.
..................... all of which demonstrate the defectiveness
rather than the effectiveness of psychiatric treatment.
The disturbance we may experience in our lives is exacerbated by the
aggressive insensitivity and gross inhumanity of such methods. Those
who are subjected to these treatments are often damaged and
traumatised by them.
Proposed changes to the Mental Health Act will only serve to
perpetuate and legitimise cruel, abusive and damaging practices.
We call for a truly consultative radical reform of the 'mental health'
system and ultimately an end to hidden psychiatric assault.
This is a human rights issue which we believe is worth fighting for.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
