"When will we recognize and publicly identify the medical criminals among us? Or is it the very possibility of perceiving many of our leading psychiatrists and psychiatric institutions in this way precluded by the fact that they represent the officially ‘correct’ views and practices. Is it precluded because they have the ears of our lawyers and legislators, journalists and judges? Or is it precluded because they are control the vast funds, collected by the state through taxing the citizens, which finance an enterprise whose basic moral legitimacy we should call into question?” - Thomas Szasz, Professor of Psychiatry

Parents Need Better Information about Psychiatric Drug and Hospital Risks and to be warned against companies that forcibly transport “troubled” teens to residential treatment facilities and wilderness camps. Distressed families pay $2,000–$4,000, and sometimes a consultant fee of up to $10,000 more, to have children taken from bed at night and driven across state lines, even when the child is of consenting age, and locked in abusive programs thousands of miles from home. The practice is known as “gooning.” About 40,000 children, including some from Canada, are held in U.S. behavioral facilities. The U.S. behavioral market was valued at $92.14 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $132.46 billion by 2032. One study put youth treatment spending at approximately $12 billion. By 2015, 82% of residential facilities still used seclusion and restraints. At least 145 children died of preventable causes in residential centers over three decades; at least 62 died from asphyxiation or restraint injury. cchrint.org/2026/09/18/paren…

ADHD drugs are handed out like candy when the FDA requires a black box warning for addiction—even when taken as prescribed and the US DEA classifies them as Schedule II drugs with a “high potential for abuse”— in the same category as OxyContin and fentanyl.

Ban Coercive Psychiatric Practices and Abuse Global health and human rights agencies—including the United Nations (UN) and World Health Organization (WHO)—report that coercion and human rights abuses remain entrenched in mental health systems worldwide. Both have called for the abolition of such practices. Coercive psychiatric practices include involuntary hospitalization, forced drugging, electroshock, seclusion, and physical, chemical, and mechanical restraints. The WHO warns that coercion “can inflict severe pain and suffering…with long-lasting physical and mental health consequences,” leading to “substantial trauma and even death,” and that these practices “violate the right to be protected from torture or cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment.” Urgent Changes and Abolition Measures Needed: • Abolish all coercive practices, including involuntary hospitalization and forced treatment. • Eliminate financial incentives that support institutionalization and coercion. • Ban forced drugging and community treatment orders, which violate fundamental rights. • Replace forced interventions like drugging, electroshock, and psychosurgery with fully informed consent-based approaches, guaranteeing the right to refuse treatment. • Reject the biomedical model approach to mental health. • Shift from pharmaceutical and neurobiological dominance toward rights-based models of care. • Mandate legislation that prohibits all involuntary measures and requires non-coercive responses in all mental health services. • Respect advance directives (Psychiatric Living Wills), ensuring people can refuse psychiatric interventions during a crisis. • Ensure accountability by enforcing penalties for violations, • Guarantee access to justice, including the right to file complaints, challenge abuses, enforce rights, and prosecute or penalize those responsible for abuse and coercion, along with providing civil, administrative, or criminal sanctions and compensation. “All persons should be able to exercise their right to give free and informed consent to accept or reject treatment in mental health systems. Denial of legal capacity, coercive practices, and institutionalization must end.” – World Health Organization Ultimately, all forced treatment, especially electroshock, psychosurgery and other damaging brain-intervention treatments must be banned. In 2025, at the United Nations’ global human rights epicenter in Geneva, CCHR International addressed a UN committee, calling for the abolition of electroshock and forced drugging—especially of children—while citing governments’ failure to enforce strong penalties against those responsible for such abuse.

Welcome to the world of psychiatry— diagnosis by opinion and drugs by "trial and error"

“All psychiatrists have in common that when they are caught on camera or on microphone, they cower and admit that there are no such things as chemical imbalances/diseases, or examinations or tests for them. What they do in practice, lying in every instance, abrogating [revoking] the informed consent right of every patient and poisoning them in the name of ‘treatment’ is nothing short of criminal.” – Dr. Fred Baughman Jr., pediatric neurologist
