This sounds like it is backed by a Scientology front group. The language- human rights abuses? The anti-medication stance? be aware of whom you are defending and how you are being used.
um, actually i know the organizers and it has nothing to do with scientology. in fact, it's really offensive to imply that people who think that there are human rights abuses in psychiatry are simply members of a cult. i'm defending myself here, as someone who has experienced psychiatric abuse first-hand.
I owe you an apology. I wrote in haste, and in no means wish to imply that all people who believe that there are human rights abuses in medicine are cutl memebers. My experience with deceptive front groups has employed nearly identical language, and it triggered me.
*shaking head sadly* Too often I look back at my profession's history and want to weep and hit things. I do that when I look at our present sometimes too, no doubt. I'm sorry you suffered so, A... informed consent is such a vital issue in any kind of health care, any kind of care period, I suppose, and it's handled all too lightly by too many. Especially with the underaged, we're woefully backward. I'm glad your demo targets specific power paradigm issues in the psych industry, though I'm not sure if you're lobbying to throw out any and all kinds of psych healthcare, or just those aspects, it's a bit unclear... while I obviously wouldn't agree if you were, either way, I wish you guys luck and a peaceful protest. Shabbat shalom, dude!
