MindFreedom International calls on the 99% to boycott the "normal" (business-as-usual) behavior of the 1% that is wrecking the environment, the economy, our mental and physical health, and the dreams of future generations. http://www.facebook.com/events/136489093124199/
The American Psychiatric Association (APA) is preparing a new version of the “label bible,” the Diagnostic and Statistical Manua
l 5 (DSM-5) that will label many more, often normal, human experiences and emotions as a "mental illness." The DSM's unscientific labels often lead to misdiagnosis, mistreatment, and discrimination as well as unnecessary over-prescription of dangerous psychiatric medications. "About half of all Americans get a psychiatric diagnosis in their
lifetimes. Receiving any of the 374 psychiatric labels — from ni****ne
dependence disorder to schizophrenia — can cost anyone their health
insurance, job, custody of their children, or right to make their own
medical and legal decisions. And if patients take psychiatric drugs, they risk developing physical
disorders such as diabetes, heart problems, weight gain and other
serious conditions." - Paula J. Caplan, Ph.D., clinical and research psychologist,
DSM Psychiatric labeling endangers human rights and health
Please support the Occupy APA movement as it seeks to raise awareness
of the Corporate "Big Pharma"/Psychiatric partnership that makes big
profits by drugging and disabling millions with dangerous, unproven
and inadequately safety-tested psychiatric pharmaceutical treatments. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said "Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted." Embrace Diversity!
